Song: Rocky Raccoon
By:   The Beatles

[intro:]   Am7

[verse:1]   {spoken}
     Am7                                           
Now somewhere in the black mining hills out Dakota 
                                         D
There lived a young boy name of Rocky Raccoon 
    G7            G                  C
And one day his woman ran off with another guy 
C/B                    Am7 
Hit young Rocky in the eye... 
                                      Dsus4               D
Rocky didn't like that, he said, "I'm gona get that boy." 
        G7                           G                           C
So one day he walked into town and booked himself a room in the local
         C/B
saloon. 

[verse:2]
Am7                   Dsus2     D 
Rocky Racoon checked into his room 
G7                     C      C/B
only to find Gideon's Bible 
Am7               Dsus4         D 
Rocky had come equipped with a gun 
   G7                          C  C/B
to shoot off the legs of his rival. 
    Am                    Dsus4      D
His rival, it seems, had broken his dreams 
     G7                       C     C/B
by stealing the girl of his fancy 
     Am7                       Dsus4         D     
Her name was Magill, and she called herself 'Lil' 
      G7                   C     C/B
But everyone knew her as Nancy. 

[verse:3]
    Am7                   Dsus4         D
Now she and her man who called himself Dan  
     G7                         C      C/B
Were in the next room at the hoedown 
Am7                   Dsus4      D
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin, 
             G7                   C        C/B
he said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown." 
    Am7                 Dsus4          D
But Daniel was hot. He drew first and shot 
    G7                       C       C/B
and Rocky collapsed in the corner  Ahhh_____
 
[verse:4]
Am7  Dsus4 D  G7  C   C/B 
Da-n-da da da-n-da da da... 
Am7  Dsus4 D  G7  C   C/B 
Da-n-da da da-n-da da da... 

[verse:5]
         Am7               Dsus4        D 
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin 
      G7                      C
and proceeded to lie on the table. 
          Am7
He said, "Rocky, you met your match." 
            Dsu4                     D
But Rockey said, "Doc, it's only a scratch. 
            G7                                            C       C/B
And I'll be better... I'll be better Doc as soon as I am able." 

[verse:6]
    Am7                     Dsus4        D
Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room 
G7                     C      C/B
Only to find Gideon's bible. 
Am7                        Dsus4         D
Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt 
   G7                       C        C/B 
to help with good Rocky's revival.   Ahhh___ Oh yeah, yeah
