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.

Now, Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideon's Bible Rocky had come equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival His rival it seems had broken his dreams By stealing the girl of his fancy. Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil But everyone knew her as Nancy. Now she and her man who called himself Dan Were in the next room at the hoe down And 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. (eugh) Da la la dum ba dum da da Da la la dum ba dum da da Da la la dum ba dum da da (eugh) The doctor walked in stinking of gin Proceeded to lie on the table 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. Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room Only to find Gideon's Bible Gideon checked out and he left him no doubt To hell with good Rocky's revival. (yeah) Da la la dum ba dum da da Da la la dum ba dum da da Da la la dum ba dum da da Da la la dum ba dum da da (start slowing down) Da la la dum ba dum da da * Da la la dum ba dum da da * E-------------------------| B---------------1---------| G-----------0-------------| D-----0--2----------------| A--3----------------------| E-------------------------|
