{c: Thanks to Craig Leonhardt }

[D] Born on a mountain top in [G] Tennes-[D]see,
[D] Greenest state in the [E7] land of the [A7] free.
[D] Raised in the [D7] woods so he [G] knew every [E7] tree
[A7] Killed him a b'ar when he was only [D] three.
[D] Davy, [G] Davy [D] Crockett, [A] king of the [A7] wild fron-[D]tier.

[D] Fought single handed through the [G] Indian [D] war,
Till' the [D] Creeks were whipped and [E7] peace was in [A7] store,
While [D] he was [D7] handling this [G] risky [E7] chore,
[A7] made himself a legend forever[D] more.
[D] Davy, [G] Davy [D] Crockett, the [A] man who don't [A7] know [D] fear.

[D] He went off to Congress and [G] served a [D] spell,
[D] fixin' up the government and [E7] laws as [A7] well,
[D] he took over [D7] Washington so [G] I hear [E7] tell
[A7] and patched up the crack in the Liberty [D] bell.
[D] Davy, [G] Davy [D] Crockett, [A] seeing his [A7] duty [D] clear.

[D] When he come home, his [G] politickin' [D] done,
why the [D] westward march had [E7] just be-[A7]gun,
so he [D] packed his [D7] gear and his [G] trusty [E7] gun
and [A7] lit out a grinnin' to follow the [D] sun.
[D] Davy, [G] Davy [D] Crockett, a [A] leadin' a [A7] pio-[D]neer.

He [D] heard of Houston and [G] Austin and [D] so,
to the [D] Texas plains he just [E7] had to [A7] go,
their [D] freedom was [D7] fightin' a-[G]nother [E7] foe
and they [A7] needed him at the Ala-[D]mo!
[D] Davy, [G] Davy [D] Crockett, [A] king of the [A7] wild fron-[D]tier...
