Unless you try to play it too darn fast Ab
I lose the beauty of a melody. Bb7
Until it sounds just like a symphony. That’s why I go for that CHORUS Bb
I took my love one over ‘a cross the tracks’ Bb7

So she could hear a man a-wailin’ sax Ab
I must admit they had a rockin’ band Bb7
And they were goin’ like a hurrican’ That’s why I go for that CHORUS Bb
Way down south they gave a jubilee Bb7
Eb
And Georgia folks, they had a jamboree Ab
They’re drinkin’ home brew from a wooden cup Bb7
The folks dancin’ got all shook up And started playin’ that CHORUS Bb
Don’t get to hear ’em play a tango Bb7

rocky raccoon Am
Now somewhere in the Black Mountain hills of Dakota D7
there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon.
G7
C
Am
One day his woman ran off with another guy, hit young Rocky in the eye. D7
Rocky didn’t like that, he said: ‘I’m gonna get that boy.’ G7
C
So one day he walked into town and booked himself a room in the local saloon. Am
D7
G7
C
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room, only to find Gideon’s Bibble. Am
D7
G7
C
Rocky had come equiped with a gun, to shoot off the legs of his rival. Am7
D7
G7
C
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams by stealing the girl of his fancy. Am7
D7
G7
C
Her name was Magill, she called herself Lill, but everyone knew her as Nancy. Am
D7
G7
C
Now she and her man, who called himself Dan, were in the next room at a howdown.
Am
D7
G7
C
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin he said: ‘Danny boy, this is a show down!’ Am7
D7
G7
C
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot and Rocky collapsed in the corner.
Am7
D7
G7
C
Dudududududu du du, dudududududu du du, dudududu dudududududu du du dudu du. Am
D7
G7
C
Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin and proceeded to lie on the table. Am
D7
He said: ‘Rocky, you met your match’, but Rocky said: ‘Doc, it’s only a scratch, G7
C
and I’ll be better, I’ll be better, doc, as soon as I am able.’ Am
D7
G7
C
Now Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room, only to find Gideon’s Bible. Am
D7
G7
C
And Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt to help with good Rocky’s revival.

Ain’t got nothin’ to lose. B

Long as she got a dime the music will never stop. Roll over Beethoven, Roll over Beethoven, Roll over Beethoven, Roll over Beethoven, Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.

the ballad of john and yoko E
Standing in the dock at Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France, E7
the man in the mac said: ‘You gotta go back.’ You know, they didnt even give us a chance. A
E
Christ, you know it ain’t easy, you know how hard it can be. B7
E
The way things are going, they’re gonna crucify me. Finally made the plane into Paris, honeymooning down by the Seine. Peter Brown called to say: ‘You can make it, ok, you can get married in Gibraltar near Spain.’ CHORUS Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton, talking in our beds for a week. The newspapers said: What’re you doing in bed?’ I said: ‘We’re only trying to get us some peace.’ CHORUS A Saving all your money for a rainy day, giving all your clothes to charity. B7
Last nite the wife said: ‘Oh boy, when you’re dead,
B
E
you dont take nothing with you, but your soul.’ Think! Made a lightning trip to Vienna, eating chocolate cake in a bag. The newspapers said: ‘She’s gone to his head. They look just like two gurus in drag.’ CHORUS Caught the early plane back to London, fifty acorns tied in a sack. The men from the press said: ‘We wish you success It’s good to have the both of you back.’ A
E
Christ, you know it ain’t easy, you know how hard it can be. B7
E
B7
E
The way things are going, they’re gonna crucify me. The way things are going, they’re gonna crucify me.
