Rocky Racoon

	  		Tuning:EADGBE 

This is how I tend to pick the chords that are used, 
you could always strum them but this is the style he has on the piano. 
Also, the chords above the words aren't 
in the exact place that you should change, 
it all depends how you sing it, just work it out for yourself. 

 


     Am7                Dm7 
Rocky Racoon, he was a fool unto himself 
                      G7              C 
For he would not swallow, his foolish pride 
     Am7                                    Dm7 
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. 

    Am7                    Dm7 or D7 
Now, Rocky Raccoon checked into his room 
  G7                 C 
Only to find Gideon's Bible 
    Am7                 Dm7 or D7 
Rocky had come equipped with a gun 
     G7                 C 
To shoot off the legs of his rival 

     Am7                 Dm7 
His rival it seems had broken his dreams 
      G7                   C 
By stealing the girl of his fancy. 
     Am7                Dm7 
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil 
    G7                  C 
But everyone knew her as Nancy. 

     Am7                Dm7 
Now she and her man who called himself Dan 
     G7                C 
Were in the next room at the hoe down 
     Am7                 Dm7 
And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin 
        G7               C 
He said Danny Boy this is a showdown 

     Am7                Dm7 
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot 
    G7                    C 
And Rocky collapsed in the corner. 

(eugh) 
  Am7 
Da la la dum ba dum da da 
  Dm7 
Da la la dum ba dum da da 
  G7                  C 
Da la la dum ba dum da da 
(eugh) 

   Am7                 Dm7 
The doctor walked in stinking of gin 
   G7                 C 
Proceeded to lie on the table 
          Am7                       Dm7 
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. 

     Am7              Dm7 
Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room 
     G7              C 
Only to find Gideon's Bible 
    Am7               Dm7 
Gideon checked out and he left him no doubt 
    G7                C 
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 
   G7                C 
Da la la dum ba dum da da 
   Am7 
Da la la dum ba dum da da 
   Dm7                            (start slowing down) 
Da la la dum ba dum da da 
  G7                 C* 
Da la la dum ba dum da da 

           C*
