Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Now, [C]what do you think of that?

[Verse 2]
Born on a mountain in [F]Tenness[C]ee
Greenest state in the [D]land of [G]the free
[C]Raised in the woods so's
he [F]knew every [Dm]tree[D]
[G]He kilt him a b'ar when
he was only [C]three
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
[G]king of the wild frontier!
[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Fought single-handed through
through the [F]Injun [C]War
Till the Creeks was whipped
an' the [D]peace was [G]in store
An' [C]while he was a-handlin' this
[F]this risky [D]chore
[G]Made hisself a legend forever[C]more
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
the [G]man who don't know fear!
[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]When he lost his love, [F]his grief was [C]gall
In his heart he [D]wanted to leave it [G]all
An' [C]lose hisself in the [F]forests [D]tall
[G]But he answered instead
his country's [C]call
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
the [G]choice of the whole [C]frontier

[Verse 5]
[C]He went off to Congress
an' [F]served a [C]spell
Fixin' up the Government
an' [D]laws as [G]well
[C]Took over Washington so
[F]I've heared [D]tell
An' [G]patched up a crack
[F]in the [C]Liberty Bell
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
see[G]in' his duty clear!
[C]

[Verse 6]
[C]When he come home,
[F]his [C]politickin' done
Why, the big western march
had [D]just [G]begun
So [C]he packed his gear an'
his [F]trusty [Dm]gun
An[G]' lit out a-grinnin' to
to follow the [C]sun
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
[G]leadin' the [C]pioneer!

[Verse 7]
His [C]land is biggest, [F]his land is [C]best
From grassy plains to
[D]the mountain [G]crest
He's [C]ahead of us all and meet
[F]in' [Dm]the test
And [G]a-followin' his his legend
right into the [C]West
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett,
the [G]king of the wild [C]frontier!
Davy, [F]Davy [C]Crockett, [G]king of the wild fronti[C]er!
