Well somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named the Rocky Raccoon
One day his woman ran off with another guy
He hit young Rocky in the eye
Rocky didn't like that. He said "Well I'ma get that boy."
So one day he walked into town
And booked himself a room in the local saloon
Rocky Raccoon, he 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 Magill, but she called herself Lil
And everyone knew her as Nancy
Well 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 Danny was hot, he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner. Ah...

And I'll be better, Doc
I will be better as soon as I am able."
So Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room

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.
