[Verse 1]
C G C G C G C G
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
C G C G C G C
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
F C G C
A man that crossed over the line was for glory but him who would live better fly
G C G C G C
And over the line went a hundred and seventy nine
[Chorus]
F Em
Heyyyyyy Santa Ana we're killin' your soldiers below
F C G C G C
So men where ever they go will remember the Alamo
[Instrumental]

Jim Bowie lay dyin' but his powder was ready and dry
C G C G C G C
With his knife in his hand he took him a few in reply
F Em C G C
And young Davy Crockett lay laughin' and dyin' the blood and the sweat in his eyes
G C G C G C
For Texas and freedom a man more than willin' to die
[Chorus]

Heyyyyyy Santa Ana we're killin' your soldiers below

So men where ever they go will remember the Alamo

They sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud
C G C G C G C
With words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud

Grieve not little darlin' my dyin' if Texas is sovereign and free
G C G C G C
Never surrender and ever with liberty be
[Chorus]
F Em
Heyyyyyy Santa Ana we're killin' your soldiers below
F C G C G C
So men where ever they go will remember the Alamo
