The Ballad Of Davy Crockett Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Bor[C]n on a mountaintop in Tennessee[F],
[C]Greenest state in the lan[D]d of the fre[G]e,
[C]Raised in the woods so's
he [F]knew every [D]tree,
[G]Killed him a bar when he was only [C]three,
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
[G]King of the Wild Fronti[C]er,
Fought single -handed
through the [F]Indian [C]War,
Till the creeks was whipped
and the [D]peace was in [G]store,
And [C]while he was handlin' [F]this risky chore
[D]He [G]made himself a legend forevermore
[C]David, Dav[F]id Cro[C]ckett,
the [G]man who don't know [C]fear
He went off to Congress
and [F]served a [C]spell
Fixin' up the government and [D]laws as [G]well
He [C]took over Washington,
so [F]I heard a t[D]ale
He'd [G]patched up a crack
in the Liberty Bell
[C]David, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
[G]seein' his duty [C]clear
When he come home,
his [F]politickin' [C]done
Why, the Western march had [D]just begun
[G]So he [C]packed his gear and his[F] trusty gun
[Dm]And lit [G]out and grinnin'
to follow the [C]sun
David, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
[G]leadin' the Pion[C]eer
He heard of Houston and [F]Austin and [C]so
To the Texas plains he just [D]had to go
[G]Their [C]freedom was a fightin' an[F]other foe
[D]And they nee[G]ded him at the Alamo[C]
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett, [G]King of the Wild Fron[C]tier
