Rhythm 2:
The Xs here are a sort of slap on the strings, which Jack does a lot in his songs. They're basically 
frethand mutes, but using your strumming hand to slap the strings with the back of your fingernails. A
pick can be used too, I think it just sounds better with a hand. They're where a lot of the rhythm comes
from.

Intro: F#m, B, E, A A/G#,

F#m
Well somewhere in the Black Mountain Hills of Dakota
B
Lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon,
E                              A
One day his woman ran off with another guy,
A/G#                          F#m
And it hit young Rocky in the eye.

Rocky didn't like that
         B
He said, "I'm gonna get that boy".
   E
So one day he walked into town
                             A              A/G#
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.




F#m                   B
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room,
E                          A     A/G#
But only to find Gideon's Bible.
F#m              B
Rocky had come, equipped with a gun,
   E                         A      A/G#
To shoot off the legs of his rival.
    F#m                 B
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,
   E                           A      A/G#
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
    F#m                      B
Her name was Magill, but she called herself Lil,
    E                       A    A/G#
And everyone knew her as Nancy.
     F#m                  B                  
Well she and her man, who called himself Dan,
     E                       A         A/G#
Were in the next room at the hoe down.
     F#m                 B
Well Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin,
       E                    A          A/G#
Said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown".
    F#m                   B
But Danny was hot, and he drew first and shot,
    E                      A       A/G#
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

F#m, B, E, A A/G#, x2
    
    F#m                 B
The doctor came in, and stinking of gin,
   E                    A      A/G#
Proceeded to lie on the table.
          F#m
He said, "Rocky, you met your match".
          B
He said, "No Doc, you know it's only a scratch.
            E                                          A          A/G#
And I'll be better Doc, I will be better, as soon as I am able".

   F#m                    B
So Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room,
    E                     A      A/G#
But only to find Gideon's Bible.
    F#m                         B
And Gideon checked out, well he left it, no doubt,
   E                        A      A/G#
To help with good Rocky's revival.
