[F] Davy
[Em] Davy Crockett
[Bm]
King of the [Am] Wild Frontier
[C]
[G] Oh, it's from here.
[D]
I thought it had the [G] country feel.
That Tower of Power, ha ha.
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state [A] in the land of [G] the free
Raised in the woods so's [A] he knew every tree
[D] Killed him a bear when he was only three
[G] Davy
Davy Crockett
[D] King of the Wild Frontier
Or somebody, I'm not mapping.
[G]
[Em] [G] [D] [G] Fought single-handed through many a war
Till the enemy was whipped [A] and peace was in [G] store
And while he was handling this risky [A] chore
[D] He made himself a legend [G] forevermore
Davy
[C] [G] Davy Crockett
[D] The man knew no fear
Fear, [G] so romantic.
[A] [E] Now he gets responsible.
[Em] [Am]
[F#m] [A] He went off to Congress and [E] he served as well
Fixing up the government [A] and the laws as well
Took over Washington, [D] so [B] I heard tell
[E] And he patched up the crack in the Liberty [A] Bell
Davy
[D]
Davy Crockett
[F#m] [E] Seeing his duty clear
When he came [A] home his politicking was done
And the Western [G] March had [E] just begun
So he [A] packed his gear [D] and his [B] trusty gun
[E] And lit out a grinning to follow the sun
Follow the sun
[A]
Davy
[D] [A] Davy [F#m] Crockett
[E] Leading the [G] pioneers
[A]
[D] [A] Just think about all [F#m] that wilderness and never [E] really been [G] there before
And just him and his gun
[E] [Am] I should [E] think the odd [A] burrow or something
Somebody to carry a few things
Probably somebody to take down the tent Davy
Davy Crockett
Did [Em] they have Zippos [Am] then?
[F#] Lighting the [A] campfire
It's quite hard to find sausages in a [E] frying pan
He [A]
also [Am] had that extraordinary [Em] hat
Remember that hat?
[A]
Made out of some sort of animal
Raccoon I [E] think, stripey
[Am] I [E] remember singing this [A] song when I was very little
So stripey tail on his hat
Very, very [Em] striped look
[A]
