'Rocky Raccoon' by The Beatles - Guitar Tutorial

             Am7                            D7
Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota
                          G7
there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
 C
Hit young Rocky in the eye
 C/B
Rocky didn`t like that,
 Am7                  D7
he said I`m gonna get that boy
     G7
So one day he walked into town
               C         C/B
and booked himself a room in a local saloon
 
 Am7              D7
Rocky Raccoon, checked into his room,
 G7              C   C/B
only to find Gideon`s Bible.
 Am7         D7
Rocky had come, equipped with a gun,
  G7                 C   C/B
to shoot off the legs of his rival
   Am7           D7
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,
  G7                 C  C/B
by stealing the girl of his fancy
   Am7               D7
Her name was McGill, And she called herself Lil,
   G7             C   C/B
but everyone knew her as Nancy

Now she and her man, who called himself Dan,
were in the next room at the hoedown
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin,
he said "Danny boy, this is a showdown."
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot,
and Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Instrumental: Am7 D7 G7 C C/B

Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin,
and proceeded to lie on the table
He said, "Rocky, you met your match,"
but Rocky said, "Doc, it`s only a scratch
and I`ll be better, I`ll be better, Doc, 
as soon as I am able."

Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room
only to find Gideons Bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
to help with good Rocky`s revival.
