[C]
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
[D7]
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon, yeah
[F] [C]
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
[C]
Hit young Rocky in the eye
Rocky didn't like that
[D7]
He said, "I'm gonna get that boy"
[F]
So one day he walked into town
[C]
Booked himself a room in the local saloon
Chorus
[Am7] [D7]
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
[F/G] [C]
Only to find Gideon's bible
[Am7] [D7]
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
[F/G] [C]
To shoot off the legs of his rival
Verse 2
[Am7] [D7]
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
[F/G] [C]
By stealing the girl of his fancy
[Am7] [D7]
Her name was Magill, but she called herself Lil
[F/G] [C]
And everyone knew her as Nancy
[Am7] [D7]
Now, she and her man, who called himself Dan
[F/G] [C]
Were in the next room at the hoe-down
[Am7] [D7]
And Rocky burst in, grinning a grin
[F/G] [C]
He said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown"
[Am7] [D7]
But Daniel was hot, and he drew first and shot
[F/G] [C]
And Rocky collapsed in the corner, yeah

The doctor burst in stinking of gin
[F] [C]
And proceeded to lie on the table
[C]
He said, "Rocky, you met your match"
[D7]
And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch
[F] [C]
I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able"
Chorus
[Am7] [D7]
So Rocky Raccoon, checked back in his room
[F/G] [C]

[F/G]
To help with good Rocky's revival
