The Kingston Trio – Remember The Alamo (Guitar)

  C           Dm          Em             F      G    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    G   G7
And over the line crossed a hundred and seventy nine

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

        C         Dm            Em          Dm       G   G7
Though Bowie lay dying his his powder was ready and dry

      C            Dm          Em          Dm      G    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          G   G7
For Texas and freedom a man more than willing to die

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

   C       Dm           C            Dm          G    G7
A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud,

      C            Dm           C          Dm           G    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     G  G7
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be!"

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
