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
