| Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota |
| D7sus4 | D7 | |
| There lived a | young boy named Rocky Ra | ccoon(na) |
| G7 | C |
| And one day his woman ran off with | another guy |
| C/B | Am7 |
| Hit young Rocky in the | eye |
| Dsus4 | D7 | |
| Rocky didn’t like that he said | I’m gonna get that boy |
| G7 | |
| So one | day he walked into town |
| C | C/B | |
| Booked himself a room in the | local saloon |
Sung, “Rock” on the 4 of the chord
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 |
| Rocky Raccoon checked | into his | room |
| G7 | C | C/B |
| Only to find Gideon’s b | ible |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 |
| Rocky had come equip | ped with a | gun |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| To | shoot off the legs of his | rival |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 | |
| His | rival it seems had | broken his | dreams |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| By | stealing the girl of his | fancy |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 | |
| Her | name was Magill, and she | called herself | Lil |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| But | everyone knew her as | Nancy |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 | |
| Now | she and her man who | called himself | Dan |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| Were | in the next room at the | hoe-down |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 |
| Rocky burst in and | grinning a | grin |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| He said | Danny boy this is a show | down |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 | |
| But | Daniel was hot he | drew first and | shot |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| And | Rocky collapsed in the | corner |
With da da da
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 | G7 | C | C/B |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 | |
| Now the | doctor came in | stinking of gin |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| And pro | ceeded to lie on the | table |
| Am7 | |
| He said | Rocky you met your match |
| Dsus4 | D7 | |
| And Rocky | said, Doc it’s only a | scratch |
| G7 | |
| And I’ll be | better |
| C | C/B | |
| I’ll be better doc as soon as I am | able |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 | |
| And now | Rocky Raccoon he fell | back in his room |
| G7 | C | C/B |
| Only to find Gideon’s | bible |
| Am7 | Dsus4 | D7 |
| Gideon checked out and he | left in no doubt |
| G7 | C | C/B | |
| To | help with good Rocky’s rev | ival |
With da da da
