Am7
 
    Am7
Now somewhere in the Black Mountain Hills 
of Dakota
      D7sus4                          
There lived a young boy name of Rocky 
   D7
Raccoon
    G7                              C
And one day his woman ran off with another
 guy
 



Hit young Rocky in the eye...
                           Am7        
Rocky didn't like that, he said, "I'm 
         D7
going to get that boy."
       G7                          G      
So one day he walked into town and booked 
                      C *
himself a room in the local saloon.
 
Am7                  D7sus4   D7
Rocky Racoon checked into his room
G7                    C
only to find Gideon's Bible
Am7             D7sus4         D7
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
   G7                        C
to shoot off the legs of his rival.
    Am                   D7sus4     D7
His rival, it seems, had broken his dreams
   G7                       C
by stealing the girl of his fancy
    Am7                      D7sus4 
Her name was Magill, and she called 
         D7
herself 'Lil'
    G7                   C
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
 
    Am7                  D7sus4         
Now she and her man (who called himself 
D7
Dan)
     G7                      C
Were in the next room at the hoedown
Am7                 D7sus4     D7
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin,
          G7                   C
he said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown."
 
    Am7                D7sus4         D7
But Daniel was hot. He drew first and shot
    G7       G             C
and Rocky collapsed in the corner.
 
Am7  D7  G7  C  2x
Da-n-da da da-n-da da da...
 
        Am7            D7sus4      D7
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
    G7                      C
and proceeded to lie on the table.
          Am7
He said, "Rocky, you met your match."
                 D7
But Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch.
            G7                           
And I'll be better... I'll be better Doc 
   G            C
as soon as I am able."
 
    Am7                    D7sus4      
Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his 
D7
room
G7                    C
only to find Gideon's bible.
Am7                        D7sus4     
Gideon checked out, and he left it no 
D7
doubt
   G7                       C
to help with good Rocky's revival.
 
Oh yeah, yeah
 
Am7  D7  G7  C  2x
Da-n-da da da-n-da da da...
