Tom T. Hall - Randy Raccoon Chords

[Intro]
D  A  D  A
D  A  D  A
 
 
[Chorus]
D                    G        D
This is the story of Randy Raccoon
                             E            A
He stays up all night and he sleeps until noon
     D                         G            D
He's been up so long, he's got rings on his tail
                            A            D    A  D  A
He's wearing a mask like he should be in jail
 
 
[Verse 1]
   D                      G           D
He washes his food by the side of the creek
                          E         A
I guess his mother taught him to be neat
   D                       G           D
He climbs up a tree and he sleeps underground
                      A       D    A  D  A
I guess he knows everybody in town
 
 
[Verse 2]
   D                      G             D
He wears a fur coat, it's all that he's got
                                 E             A
He wears that fur coat when it's cold and it's hot
    D                          G             D
And when it starts raining, he goes right on out
                     A            D     A  D  A
His fur turns into a raincoat, no doubt
 
 
[Verse 3]
         D                             G           D
When the weather gets cold and there's snow on the ground
                       E        A
Randy goes down to his bed underground
   D                         G           D
He curls himself up with his nose at his feet
                          A           D    A  D  A
And Randy Raccoon gets to sleep for a week
 
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
          E                       A           E
You know, one time I put out some food for my cat
                               F#        B7
And that's how I found out how Randy got fat
     E                     A            E
That rascal came by in the still of the night
                              B7        E    B7  E  B7
He cleaned up the dish and he ate every bite
 
 
[Chorus]
E                    A        E

                            B7           E    B7  E
He's wearing a mask like he should be in jail
    B7                E    B7  E  B7
And he can see in the dark
