Tuning:EADGBE
This is how I tend to pick the chords that are used,
you could always strum them but this is the style he has on the piano.
Also, the chords above the words aren't
in the exact place that you should change,
it all depends how you sing it, just work it out for yourself.

Am7 Dm7
Rocky Racoon, he was a fool unto himself
G7 C
For he would not swallow, his foolish pride
Am7 Dm7
Mind you, coming from a little town in Minnesota,
G7
It is not the kind of thing a young guy did
C
When a fellow went and stole his chick away from him.
Am7 Dm7 or D7
Now, Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
G7 C
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Am7 Dm7 or D7
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
G7 C
To shoot off the legs of his rival
Am7 Dm7
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
G7 C
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Am7 Dm7
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
G7 C
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Am7 Dm7
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
G7 C
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Am7 Dm7
And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
G7 C
He said Danny Boy this is a showdown
Am7 Dm7
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
G7 C
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.
(eugh)
Am7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
Dm7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
G7 C
Da la la dum ba dum da da
(eugh)
Am7 Dm7
The doctor walked in stinking of gin
G7 C
Proceeded to lie on the table
Am7 Dm7
The doctor said "Rock, you met your match, Son."
Rocky said, no it's only a scratch
G7
I'll be better soon Doc, I'll be better soon.
C
Well come on Rock, come on Rock.
Am7 Dm7
Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room
G7 C
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Am7 Dm7
Gideon checked out and he left him no doubt
G7 C
To hell with good Rocky's revival.
(yeah)
Am7
Da la la dum ba dum da da
