Verse 1
  C           G          C             F         C  G C G
A hundred and eighty are challenged by Travis to die
     C            G             C            F           C  C7
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
             G              C           F       C  C7
And over the line crossed a hundred and seventy nine

Chorus
F                                                 Em
Hey up Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
       F                  C   G                C     G Em F C G C G C G
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo

Verse 2
    C         G         C             F          C  G C G
Jim Bowie lay dying his blood and his powder run dry
        C            G        C          F        C  C7
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
              G         C            F          C  C7
For Texas and freedom a man was more willing to die

Chorus
F                                                 Em
Hey up Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
       F                  C   G                C     G Em F C G C G C G
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo

Verse 3
  C       G         C           F          C   G C G
A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
    C          G        C              F           C    C7
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
                       G           C       F       C  C7
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be

Chorus
F                                                     Em
Hey.....up Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
       F                  C   G                C
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo
G               C     G Em F C G C
