  THE ALAMO    Donovan Leitch

  

  Im not really sure if Donovan wrote this as I have only heard him sing it and I have not seen it on any records.

  

  The words are from memory and the chords are my own interpretation of the song. Hammering on and off strings on the F chord will give the required sound.

  

  C                              G           C                                     F                  C         

  Eight hundred and eighty he challenged the travellers to die,

  

  C                          G                   C                 F                  C                    

  By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh,

             F                                       C

  Ev^Òry man that stepped over the line was for glory

           F                                C

  And he that was left better fly,

  C                    G                          C              F           C    

  For over the line stepped one hundred and seventy nine.

  

  Chorus

  

  F                                                                           C

  Hey  at Santa Anna  they^Òre killing our soldiers below

               F                           C

  So the rest of  Texas will know,

             G                      C

  And remember the Alamo

  

  C G C F C G C

  

  Jim Bowie lay dying his blood and his powder were dry

  

  But his knife had been willing to take him a few in reply

  

  Young Davey Crockett lay laughin and dyin

  

  The blood and the sweat in his eye

  

  For texas and freedom a man was more willing to die
