[E]
[C] Born on a [F] mountaintop in [C] Tennessee, Greenest [Am]
stayed in the land [G] of the free,
[C] Raised in the woods [F] so's he knew [D] every tree, [G] Killed Timber Bar when he was [C] only three,
Davy, [Fm]
Davy Crockett, [G] King of the Wild [C] Frontier.
In 1813 the [F] creeks [C] uprose, Addin' redskin [D] arrows to the [F] country's woes,
Now engine fightin' is somethin' [D] he knows, [G] So he shoulders his rifle and [C] off he goes.
[F] Davy, Davy [C] Crockett, the [G] man who don't know fear,
Off through the woods [F] he's a-marchin' [C] along, Makin' up yarns and singin' a [G] song,
[C] Itchy for fightin' and rightin' [D] a wrong, He's ringy as a bar and twice as [C] strong.
[F] Davy, [C] Davy Crockett, the [G] buckskin buccaneer,
He fought single [F]-handed through the Injun [C] war, Till the creeks was whipped [D] and the peace [G] was in store,
[C] While he was handlin' this [F] risky chore, [G] He made his self a legend [C] forevermore.
[F] Davy, [C] Davy Crockett, [G] King of the Wild Frontier.
He gave his word and [F] he gave his [C] hand, That his Injun friends could [D] keep their land,
[F] And the [C] rest of his life he took the stand, That justice [G] was due every redskin [B] band.
Davy,
[F] [C] Davy Crockett, [G] holdin' his promise dear,
He went off to Congress [F] and served [C] his spell, Fixin' up the [D] government and laws as [G] well,
[C] Took over Washington's a weird tale, [G] And patched up the crack in the Liberty [C] Bell.
Davy,
[F] Davy [C] Crockett, seein' his duty clear,
When he come home, [Fm] his politickin' [C] done, The big western march [D] had just [G] begun,
[C] So he packed his gear and his trusty gun, [G] And lit out a grinnin' to follow [C] the sun.
Davy, [Fm]
Davy [G] Crockett, leadin' the [C] Pioneer,
He heard of Houston and [F] Austin and [C] so, To the Texas [D] plains he just had [G] to go,
[C] For freedom was fightin' another foe, [G] And they needed him at the [C] Alamo.
[C] Davy, Davy Crockett, the [G] man who don't [C] know fear,
His land is biggest and [F] his land is best, From [Am] grassy plains [D] to the mountain's [G] crest,
[C] He's ahead of us all, meeting the test, [G] Followin' his legend [F] into the west.
