[ Rocky Raccoon von Beatles ]



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


 Sing:
  Am7                    D7 
 Rocky Raccoon, checked into his room, 
   G7                    C    C/B 
 Only to find Gideon's Bible. 
  Am7             D7 
 Rocky had come, equipped with a gun, 
      G7                        C     C/B 
 To shoot off the legs of his rival
        Am7               D7 
 His rival it seems, had broken his dreams, 
      G7                        C    C/B 
 By stealing the girl of his fancy 
      Am7                      D7 
 Her name was McGill, And she called herself Lil, 
       G7                  C    C/B 
 But everyone knew her as Nancy 


  Am7                                  D7 
 Now she and her man, who called himself Dan, 
                                G7  
 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.


 **Instrumental:  Am7 D7 G7 C C/B


  Am7                            D7 
 Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin, 
    G7                    C    C/B 
 And proceeded to lie on the table
   Am7             D7 
 He said, "Rocky, you met your match," 
      G7                        C     C/B 
 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                 C/B 
 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    C/B 
 To help with good Rocky's revival.
