  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

So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo

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

So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo

    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
