Do Doooo Do Doooo Do Doooooo

Vejam só. Conversando com Victor Carvalho ele me chamou a atenção para a letra da excelente Rocky Raccoon. Dando uma forçada de barra, mas nem tanto, olha ao que Sir. Paul já tinha se antenado. A letra, segue com as cifras para os tocadores de plantão.

Am7
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
D7sus4 D7 G7
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
C
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
G/B Am7
Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn\'t like that
D7sus4 D7
He said \"I\'m gonna get that boy\"
G7
So one day he walked into town
C G/B
Booked himself a room in the local saloon
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
G7 C G/B
Only to find Gideon\'s bible
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
G7 C G/B
To shoot off the legs of his rival
Am7 D7sus4 D7
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
G7 C G/B
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
G7 C G/B
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
G7 C G/B
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
G7 C G/B
He said \"Danny boy this is a showdown\"
Am7 D7sus4 D7
But Daniel was hot- he drew first and shot
G7 C G/B
And Rocky collapsed in the corner
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
G7 C G/B
And proceeded to lie on the table
Am7
He said \"Rocky you met your match\"
D7sus4 D7
And Rocky said, \"Doc it\'s only a scratch
G7 C G/B
And I\'ll be better, I\'ll be better doc as soon as I am able\"
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
G7 C G/B
Only to find Gideon\'s bible
Am7 D7sus4 D7
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
G7 C G/B
To help with good Rocky\'s revival
Am7 D7sus4 D7 G7 C G7 C
DO DOOO DO DOOO DO DOOO DO DOOOO DOO DOOO DOOO

A letra da música, por assim dizer, é uma epopéia de amor e sangue pelo Oeste americano, onde Rocky Raccon é o bonzinho. Mas, vamos ao que interessa. Reparem a parte grifada. É quando ele adjetiva o chifre que recebeu da mulher. "Hit a Young Rocky in the eye", fazendo uma tradução de sessão da tarde, seria a popular: fura olho.

Pois é pessoal, McCartney há tempos já usava a expressão que está tão em voga. Como hoje em dia tem tanta gente furando o olhinho do outro, nós poderiamos agora em diante apelidarmos essas pessoas de Rocky.

E palmas para os Raccons
