Ballad Of Davy Crockett chords

[G]Born on a mountain top in [C]Tennes[G]see

Greenest state in the [A7]Land of the [D7]Free

[G]Raised in the woods so he [C]knew every tree

[D7]He killed himself a bear when he was only [G]three

Davy [C]Davy [G]Crockett

[D7]King of the wild fron[G]tier

Off through the woods he went [C]marching [G]along

Making up yarns [A7]and a singing a [D7]song

[G]Itching for fighting always [C]righting a wrong

[D7]He was rangy as a bear and twice as [G]strong

Davy [C]Davy [G]Crockett

[D7]King of the wild fron[G]tier

Fought single-handed through [C]the Indian [G]War

Till the tribes went west and [A7]peace was in [D7]store

[G]The rest of his life he [C]took the stand

[D7]That justice was due the redskin [G]man

Davy [C]Davy [G]Crockett

[D7]King of the wild fron[G]tier

He went off to Congress and [C]served a [G]spell

Fixing up the government [A7]and laws as [D7]well

[G]Took over Washington so we [C]heard tell

[D7]And patched up the crack in the Liberty [G]Bell

Davy [C]Davy [G]Crockett

[D7]King of the wild fron[G]tier

He heard of Houston and [C]Austin and [G]so

To the Texas plains he [A7]just had to [D7]go

[G]Where the land was free and [C]there was room to grow

[D7]And he fought and died at the Ala[G]mo

Davy [C]Davy [G]Crockett

[D7]King of the wild fron[G]tier

Davy's land is the biggest [C]Davy's land is [G]best

From grassy plains to the [A7]mountain [D7]crest

[G]He's ahead of us all [C]meeting the test

[D7]Following his legend into the [G]West

Davy [C]Davy [G]Crockett

[D7]King of the wild fron[G]tier
