Rocky Raccoon chords by The Beatles

"Rocky Raccoon" is a 1968 folk rock song by The Beatles from the double-disc album The Beatles (also known as The White Album). The song was primarily written by Paul McCartney, who was inspired while playing guitar with John Lennon and Donovan in India (where the Beatles had gone on a retreat). The song, titled from the character's name, was originally "Rocky Sassoon", but McCartney changed it to Rocky Raccoon because he thought "it sounded more like a cowboy". The Old West-style honky-tonk piano was played by producer George Martin. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
