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

Rocky Racoon, he was a fool unto himself
For he would not swallow, his foolish pride
Am7 Dm7
Mind you, coming from a little town in Minnesota,
It is not the kind of thing a young guy did
When a fellow went and stole his chick away from him.

Am7 Dm7 or D7
Now, Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon’s Bible
Am7 Dm7 or D7
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival

Am7 Dm7
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Am7 Dm7
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Am7 Dm7
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Am7 Dm7
And Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny Boy this is a showdown

Am7 Dm7
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

(eugh)
Am7
Da la la dum ba dum da da

Da la la dum ba dum da da
Da la la dum ba dum da da

Am7 Dm7
The doctor walked in stinking of gin
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
I’ll be better soon Doc, I’ll be better soon.
Well come on Rock, come on Rock.

Am7 Dm7
Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon’s Bible
Am7 Dm7
Gideon checked out and he left him no doubt
To hell with good Rocky’s revival.
(yeah)
