Intro: Am7 

Spoken 
  Am7                                          D7  
 Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota 
                                                                              D7    G7  
 There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon     a    
                                                                   C    
 And one day his woman ran off with another guy 
                                        Am  
 Hit young Rocky in the eye 
  Am7                                              D7  
 Rocky didn't like that, he said I'm gonna get that boy  
        Dm7 G7    
 So one     day he walked into town   
          G7                                      C                
 And booked himself a room in a local saloon 

Verses 
  Am7                                D7  
 Rocky Raccoon, checked into his room  
 G                                 C      
 Only to find Gideon's Bible  
  Am7                       D7  
 Rocky had come, equipped with a gun  
      G                                      C       
 To shoot off the legs of his rival 
        Am7                                          D7  
 His rival it seems, had broken his dreams  
       G7                                  C      
 By stealing the girl of his fancy  
      Am7                                                           D7  
 Her name was McGill, And she called herself Lil  
       G7                                   C  
 But everyone knew her as Nancy  
  Am7                                                          D7  
 Now she and her man, who called himself Dan  
                                G   
 Were in the next room at the hoedown 
             G7   
 Rocky burst in and grinning a grin  
   C  
 He said 'Danny boy, this is a showdown' 
   C/B   
 But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot  
   Am7                                      D7  
 And Rocky collapsed in the corner 

 Interlude:  Am7 D7 G7 C C/B 

  Am7                                             D7  
 Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin  
    G7                                       C      
 And proceeded to lie on the table 
   Am7                                           D7  
 He said, 'Rocky, you met your match'  
      G7                                               C       
 But Rocky said, 'Doc, it's only a scratch 
         Am7                                                                  D7  
 And I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able' 
       G7                                                                                              C                
 Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room only to find Gideons Bible 
       Am7                                           D7  
 Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt  
        G7                                     C      
 To help with good Rocky's revival
