Am7Dm7
Rocky Racoon, he was a fool unto himself
G7C
For he would not swallow, his foolish pride
Am7Dm7
Mind you, coming from a little town in Minnesota,
G7
It is not the kind of thing a young guy did
C
When a fellow went and stole his chick away from him.
Am7Dm7 or D7
Now, Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
G7C
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Am7Dm7 or D7
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
G7C
To shoot off the legs of his rival
Am7Dm7
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
G7C
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Am7Dm7
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
G7C
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Am7Dm7
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
G7C
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Am7Dm7
And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
G7C
He said Danny Boy this is a showdown
Am7Dm7
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
G7C
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.
Am7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Dm7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
G7C
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Am7Dm7
The doctor walked in stinking of gin
G7C
Proceeded to lie on the table
Am7Dm7
The doctor said "Rock, you met your match, Son."
Rocky said, no it's only a scratch
G7
I'll be better soon Doc, I'll be better soon.
C
Well come on Rock, come on Rock.
Am7Dm7
Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room
G7C
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Am7Dm7
Gideon checked out and he left him no doubt
G7C
To hell with good Rocky's revival.
(yeah)
Am7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Dm7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
G7C
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Am7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Dm7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
G7C
Da la la dum ba dum da da
