D 
Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee 
The greenest state in the land of the free 
                          G          D 
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree 
G                      A           D 
Killed him a bear when he was only 3 
 
      G     D        G          A     G-D 
Davy, Davy Crocket, king of the wild frontier 
D     G       D       G          A      D 
Davy, Davy Crocket, king of the wild frontier 
 
 
Up through the woods he's a marchin' along 
Makin' up yarns and singin' a song 
Itchin' for a fight and rightin' a wrong 
Crazy as a bear and twice as strong 
 
CHORUS 
 
SOLO 
 
His land is biggest and his land is best 
From gassy plains to the mountain crest 
He's ahead of us all and beatin' the test 
He follows his legend into the west
