[Am] Rocky had come [D7] equipped with a gun to [G7] shoot off the legs of his [C] rival. \r\n\r\nHis [Am] rival, it seems, had [D7] broken his dreams, by [G7] stealing the girl of his [C] fancy.   Her [Am7] name was Magill, and she [D7] called herself 'Lil'   but [G7] everyone knew her as [C] Nancy. \r\n \r\nNow [Am] she and her man (who [D7] called himself Dan)  were [G7] in the next room at the [C] hoedown.  [Am] Rocky burst in, and [D7] grinning a grin,  he said, [G7] \"Danny boy, this is a [C] showdown.\" \r\n \r\n         SCROLL DOWN HERE<\/span>\r\n\r\nBut [Am] Daniel was hot. He [D7] drew first and shot [BANG] and [G7] Rocky [G] collapsed in the [C] corner. \r\n \r\nAm D7 G7 C 3x\r\nDa-n-da da da-n-da da da... \r\n \r\nNow the [Am] doctor came in [D7] stinking of gin  [G7] proceeded to lie on the [C] table.  He said, [Am] \"Rocky, you met your match.\"  But Rocky [D7] said, \"Doc, it's only a scratch;  and [G7] I'll be better... I'll be [G] better Doc as soon as I am [C] able.\" \r\n \r\nNow [Am] Rocky Raccoon, he fell [D7] back in his room  [G7] only to find Gideon's [C] bible.  [Am] Gideon checked out, and he [D7] left it no doubt to [G7] help with good Rocky's [C] revival. \r\n \r\nOh yeah, yeah - - - Am D7 G7 C 3x - - - Da-n-da da da-n-da da da...    {END}\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n
