The Alamo

	  		 
  C           G7          C             G7        C G7 C G7 
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die 
       C            G7            C              G7        C G7 C G7 
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh 
    F                           C 
Any man that would fight to the death, cross over 
       F                          C 
But if you wanna live, you better fly 
    C        G7             C           G7      C G7 C G7 
And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine 
 
Chorus: 
F                                               C 
Hey, Santa Ana, we're killing you're soldiers below 
   F                  C                        C G7 C G7 C 
So men, wherever they go, will remember the Alamo 
 
 
Old Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry 
Flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply 
And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin' 
with gallantry tears in eyes 
For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die 
 
Repeat chorus 
 
They sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud 
With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud 
Grieve not little darlin', my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free 
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be 
 
Repeat chorus
