coon. One day his woman ran off with
|C|C/B|
a- nother guy, hit young Rocky in the
Am7|%
eye. Rocky didn't like that. He said, "I'm

walked into town, booked himself a room in
|C|C/B
the local saloon.
|Am7|%|Dsus4|D
Rocky Rac- coon checked into his room,
|G7|%|C|C/B
only to find Gideon's bible.

Rocky had come e- quipped with a gun
|G7|%|C|
to shoot off the legs of his rival.-
     
C/B|Am7|%|Dsus4
His rival it seems had broken
|D|G7|%
his dreams by stealing the girl of his
|C|C/B|Am7|%
fancy.- Her name was Ma- gil, and
|Dsus4|D|G7|
she called herself Lil, but everyone
%|C|C/B|Am7
knew her as Nancy.- Now she and
|%|Dsus4|D
her man, who called himself Dan, were
|G7|%|C|
in the next room at the hoedown.
C/B|Am7|%|Dsus4
Rocky burst in and grinning a
|D|G7|%|
grin He said "- Danny boy, this is a
C|C/B|Am7|%
showdown."- But Daniel was hot, he
|Dsus4|D|G7|
drew first and shot, and Rocky col-
%|C|C/B
lapsed in the corner.
(instrumental verse)
      
|Am7|%|Dsus4|D
The doctor came in stinking of gin
|G7|%|C|
and pro- ceeded to lie on the table.-
C/B|Am7|
He said, "- Rocky you met your
%|Dsus4|
match." And Rocky said, "Doc it's only a
D|G7|%
scratch, and I'll be better I'll be better
|C|C/B
doc as soon as I am able."
|Am7|%|Dsus4
Now Rocky Rac- coon, he fell back in his
|D|G7|%|C|
room only to find Gideon's bible.
C/B|Am7|%|
Gideon checked out, and he
Dsus4|D|G7|
left it, no doubt, to help with good
%|C|C/B
Rocky's re- vival.
