[Verse 1]
C G Em F C
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
C G Em F C
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
F Em
A man that crossed over the line was for glory
F C
And he that was left better fly
C G Em F C
And over the line crossed a hundred and seventy nine
[Chorus]
F Em
Hey.. look Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
F C
So the rest of Texas will know
F G C G Em F C G C
and remember The Alamo
[Verse 2]
C G Em F C
Jim Bowie lay dying his blood and his powder would dry
C G Em F C
But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply
F Em
Young Davy Crockett lay laughing and dying
F C
The blood and the sweat in his eyes
C G Em F C
For Texas and freedom a man was more willing to die
[Chorus]
F Em
Hey.. look Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
F C
So the rest of Texas will know
F G C G Em F C G C
and remember The Alamo
[Verse 3]
C G Em F C
A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
C G Em F C
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd
F Em
Fear not little darling of dying
F C
If the world is sovereign and free
C G Em F C C7
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be
[Chorus]
F Em
Hey.....look Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
F C
So the rest of Texas will know
F G C G Em F C G C
and remember The Alamo
