Rocky racoon The Beatles

Lyrics and guitar chords

  • Guitar chords Redakcja
Am7Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of DaD7kota
There lived a young boy named Rocky RacG7coon

And one day his woman ran off with another guy
HCit young Rocky in the RC/Bocky didn't like that
HAm7e said "I'm gonna get that boy"
So one dG7ay he walked into town
Booked himself a roCom in the local sC/Baloon

RAm7ocky Raccoon checked iD7nto 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 Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said "Danny boy this is a showdown"
But Daniel was hot- he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said "Rocky you met your match"
And Rocky said, "Doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better, I'll be better doc as soon as I am able"
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

Sexy Sadie
Beatles

Here's my best guess. Usual caveats, invitations for comments,
I'm pretty sure each part is right. I just forget the order! A
couple places, I think I've got the lyrics wrong, but their pretty
clear on disk, as I remember (don't have one any more).

SEXY SADIE
The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney)

Intro: C D G F# F D7

G Sexy SF#adie, Bmwhat have you done?
C You made a Dfool of everyone G    F#  
C You made a Dfool of everyone G    F#  
 Sexy FSadie, ohD what have you done?


Sexy Sadie, you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie, oh you broke the rules

G One sunny day, the Amworld was waiting for a Bmlover  C 
G She came along to Amturn on every Bmone,    C 
C A7 Ab7 (?)
Sexy Sadie, the greatest of them all

You gave her everything you owned
Just to sit at her table
Just as her smile would light up everything [I forget words here]
Sexy Sadie, the latest and the greatest of them all

Sexy Sadie, how did you know,
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie, how did you know?

Sexy Sadie, you'll get yours yet,
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie, oh you'll get yours yet
G Sexy Sadie, the F#latest and the greatest of them Bmall, oooo...
C D G F# C D<*>

h = hammer on

Intro riff :
------------

[E-------------------------]B------2h3--2h3--2h3-5----
G--2h4-----------------2--
D-------------------------
A-------------------------
E-----------------


What I have for the chords is :


SAhe said   G     D   I know what it's lAike  to  be  deaGd     D I know what it ...


Basically it's these three chords for nearly the whole song, apart from :

When I was Am bEmoy        A7 e'thing was riDght         A7 e'thing was rDight


And that's it.

As for the instruments : one guitar plays the chords, with a cleanish sound

The second electric plays lead parts which sometimes echo the tune, but this
guitar also plays the riff that comes after ' making me feel like I've never
been born' :

E---------------------------------
[B------------------------------]G---4b6r4-2--4--0-----0---2---------
D-------------------2---2--------
A-------------------------------
E-------------------------------



So , with these two guitars you have bass - fairly simple stuff here, a lot of
root notes except for the 'when I was a boy' bit, where the bass plays on the
1st 3rd and 5th of the chords.

Add drums, and harmony vocals (nearly all singing in 3rds) and you've got it.


I just recorded a cover of this on 8-track, and stuck pretty much to the
original sound. I double tracked that riff to give it more edge, and added a few
more vocals, but it sounded very good.

G# a point of interest, check out the cymbals on the original.

On the bit with the guitar riff (between verses) there seem to be a lot of loud
cymbals - a lot louder than the bulk of the song.

Maybe they overdubbed extra cymbals here ?

It certainly gives it a powerful sound, and on the fade out too there's a lot
of cymbals.

Great song !

Howard
