And a hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die 
                                                 G7         C 
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  
    G7                         C 
But him that would live better fly 
                                     G7      C 
And over the line went a hundred and seventy-nine 
F                                          Em 
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below 
     F                 C       G7           C 
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo

Oh Bowie lay dying his powder was ready and dry 
                                    G7     C 
Flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply 
    F                       C 
And young Davy Crockett was singing and laughing 
     G7                      C 
With gallantry fierce in his eye 
                                        G7         C 
For God and for freedom a man more than willing to die 

F                                          Em 
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below 
     F                 C       G7           C 
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo 

                                             G7         C 
They sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud 
                                       G7          C 
With words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud 
       F                     C 
Grieve not little darling my dying 
   G7                     C 
If Texas is sovereign and free  
                                    G7      C 
We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be 

F                                          Em 
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below 
     F                 C       G7           C 
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo
