The Beatles  1968 (The White Album)
 
[Am] Now somewhere in the Black Mountain Hills of Dakota there [D7] lived a young boy name of Rocky [D7] Raccoon;   [G7] And one day his woman ran off with [C] another guy ... Hit young Rocky in the [C] eye... Rocky didn't like [Am7] that, he said, "I'm going to [D7] get that boy."  So one [G7] day he walked into town, and [G] booked himself a room in the [C] local saloon.
 
[Am] Rocky Racoon checked [D7] into his room  [G7] only to find Gideon's [C] Bible.  [Am] Rocky had come [D7] equipped with a gun to [G7] shoot off the legs of his [C] rival. 

His [Am] rival, it seems, had [D7] broken his dreams, by [G7] stealing the girl of his [C] fancy.   Her [Am7] name was Magill, and she [D7] called herself 'Lil'   but [G7] everyone knew her as [C] Nancy. 
 
Now [Am] she and her man (who [D7] called himself Dan)  were [G7] in the next room at the [C] hoedown.  [Am] Rocky burst in, and [D7] grinning a grin,  he said, [G7] "Danny boy, this is a [C] showdown."

But [Am] Daniel was hot. He [D7] drew first and shot [BANG] and [G7] Rocky [G] collapsed in the [C] corner. 
 
Am D7 G7 C 3x
Da-n-da da da-n-da da da... 
 
Now the [Am] doctor came in [D7] stinking of gin  [G7] proceeded to lie on the [C] table.  He said, [Am] "Rocky, you met your match."  But Rocky [D7] said, "Doc, it's only a scratch;  and [G7] I'll be better... I'll be [G] better Doc as soon as I am [C] able." 
 
Now [Am] Rocky Raccoon, he fell [D7] back in his room  [G7] only to find Gideon's [C] bible.  [Am] Gideon checked out, and he [D7] left it no doubt to [G7] help with good Rocky's [C] revival. 
 
Oh yeah, yeah - - - Am D7 G7 C 3x - - - Da-n-da da da-n-da da da...    {END}
