Im not really sure if Donovan wrote this as I have only heard him sing it and I have not seen it on any records.
The words are from memory and the chords are my own interpretation of the song. Hammering on and off strings on the F chord will give the required sound.
C G C F C
Eight hundred and eighty he challenged the travellers to die,
C G C F C
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh,
F C
Ev^?ry man that stepped over the line was for glory
F C
And he that was left better fly,
C G C F C
For over the line stepped one hundred and seventy nine.
Chorus
F C
Hey at Santa Anna they^?re killing our soldiers below
F C
So the rest of Texas will know,
G C
And remember the Alamo
C G C F C G C
Jim Bowie lay dying his blood and his powder were dry
But his knife had been willing to take him a few in reply
Young Davey Crockett lay laughin and dyin
The blood and the sweat in his eye
For texas and freedom a man was more willing to die
