C Dm Em F Em G

{Verse 1}
  C           Dm          Em             F      Gmaj7    G7
A hundred and eighty are challenged by Travis to die
        C            Dm             Em              Dm       Gmaj7   G7
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle drew nigh
     F                         Em
The man who would fight to the death cross over
    Dm                       C
But them that was left better fly
    C         Dm              Em           Dm   Gmaj7   G7
And over the line crossed a hundred and seventy nine

{Chorus}
F                                                    Em
High up Santa Anna - they're killing your soldiers below
        Dm                  C   Dm    G7        C      Dm Em Dm C
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo

{Verse 2}
        C         Dm            Em          Dm      Gmaj7   G7
Though Bowie lay dying his his powder was ready and dry
      C            Dm          Em          Dm     Gmaj7  G7
From flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply,
     F                       Em
And Young Davy Crockett was smiling and laughing
    Dm                          C
The challenge was fierce in his eyes
     C        Dm         Em             F        Gmaj7   G7
For Texas and freedom a man more than willing to die

{Chorus}
F                                                    Em
High up Santa Anna - they're killing your soldiers below
        Dm                  C   Dm    G7        C     Dm  Em  Dm  C
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo

{Verse 3}
   C       Dm           C            Dm        Gmaj7    G7
A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud,
      C            Dm           C          Dm          Gmaj7    G7
With words of farewell in the letters he carried were proud:
  F                              Em
"Grieve not, little darlin', my dyin'
    Dm                      C
if Texas is sovereign and free,
       C        Dm          C         Dm    Gmaj7  G7
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be!"

{Chorus}
F                                                     Em
High up Santa Anna - they're killing your soldiers below
        Dm                  C          Dm    G7         C      Dm  Em  Dm  C
So the rest of Texas will know ...... and remember The Alamo
Dm      G7         C    Dm  Em  Dm  C
And remember The Alamo
