He was a [F#] fool unto [A] himself.
Rocky [Am] Raccoon, _ _ [C] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ Rocky [Am]
Raccoon, _ _ he [D] was a fool unto himself.
_ _ _ _ [G] And he would not swallow his foolish pride.
_ [C] _ _
_ [G] Mind you, coming from a little [Am] town in Minnesota,
_ _ _ _ _ [D] it was not the kind of thing that a young guy did
when [G] a fellow 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 [C] his rival.
_ [G] _ _ _
[A] His rival, it seems, _ [D] had broken his dreams _
[G] by stealing the girl of his [C] fancy.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _
[A] 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 called himself Dan, _
[G] were in the next room at the [C] _ hoedown.
_ [G] _ _ _
[A] And Rocky burst in, _ [D] and grinning a grin, _ _
[G] said, Danny boy, this is a [C] _ showdown.
_ [G] _ _ _
[A] But Daniel was hot, _ _ he [D] drew first and shot,
_ _ [G]
and Rocky _ _ collapsed [C] in the corner.

[G] _ _ _ [A] The doctor walked in, _ _ [D] _ sminking of gin,
_ _ _ _ [G] proceeded to lie on [C] the table.
_ [G] He was really sminking, [A] not gin. _ _ _
And it did [D] him in in the end. _
Poor [G] Doc. _ _ _ _
Meantime, back on [C] the table,
_ [G] _ _ _
[A] the doctor said, Rock, [Am]
you [D] met your match, son.
Rocky said, it's [G] only a scratch, son.
_ I'll be better [C] _ soon.
[G] You better be better [A]
soon, [Am] said the doc.
Come on, son, [D]
gotta get hip, gotta get up,
[G] gotta get back to your gun,
gotta go show that Danny boy.
_ _ However, _ [Am] _ Rocky _ Raccoon _ fell [D] back in his room,
_ [G] _ only to find Gideon's [C] Bible. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ Gideon checked out _ [D] and left it, no doubt,
_ [G] to help with good Rocky's [C] _ revival.

[G] _ _ _ _ [A] straight into the [Am] arms of someone new
[D] someone who he'd known from a long way back
