[C#] [Cm] [D#] It was a [C#m] fool unto [A] himself.
[Am] Rocky Raccoon, [A] Rocky [Am] Raccoon, [D] he was a fool [G] unto [D] himself, [G] and he would not swallow his foolish pride.
[C] Mind you, coming from a [Am] little town in Minnesota, [D] it was not the kind of thing that a young
guy [G] did when a fella went and stole his chick away [C] from him.
[G]
[Am] Now Rocky Raccoon [D] checked [A] into his [D] room [G] only to find [C] Gideon's Bible.
[G] [Am] Rocky had come [D] equipped with a gun [G] to shoot off the legs of his [C]
rival.
[G] [Am] His rival, it seems, [D] had [G] broken [D] his dreams [G] by stealing the girl of his [C] fancy.
[G] [Am] Her name was McGill, [D] and she called herself Lil, [G] but everyone knew her as [C] Nancy.
[G] [A] Now she [Am] and her man, [D] who [G] called [D] himself Dan, [G] were in the next room [C] at the hoedown.
[G] [A] And [Am] Rocky burst in, [D] and grinning a grin, [G] said,
Danny boy, this is [C] a showdown.
[G] [A] But [Am] Daniel was hot, he [D] drew first and shot, [G] and Rocky collapsed [C] in the corner.

[C] [G] [A] And the doctor walked [Am] in, [D] sminking of gin, [G]
proceeded to lie [C] on the [G] table.
He was really sminking [A] of gin, and it [D] did him in in the end.
[G] Poor Doc.
Meantime, [C] back on the table, [G] yeah, [Am]
the doctor said,
Rock, [D] you met [G] your match, son.
Rocky said, it's only a scratch, son.
I'll be better [C] soon.
[G] You better be [A] better soon, said [Am] the doc.
Come on, [G] son, gotta get [D] hip, gotta get up, [G] gotta get back to your gun,
gotta go show that Danny boy.
[C] [G] However, [Am]
Rocky Raccoon fell [G] back in [D] his room, [G]
only to find [C] Gideon's Bible.
[G] [Am]
Gideon checked out, [G] and [D] left it, no doubt, [G] to help with good [C] Rocky's revival.
