  The Alamo

  By Johnny Cash

  

  

                         The Alamo

  

  

    C           G7          C             G7        C G7 C G7

  A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die

         C            G7            C              G7        C G7 C G7

  By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh

      F                           C

  Any man that would fight to the death, cross over

         F                          C

  But if you wanna live, you better fly

      C        G7             C           G7      C G7 C G7

  And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine

  

  Chorus:

  F                                               C

  Hey, Santa Ana, we're killing you're soldiers below

     F                  C                        C G7 C G7 C

  So men, wherever they go, will remember the Alamo

  

  

  Old Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry

  Flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply

  And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin'

  with gallantry tears in eyes

  For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die

  

  Repeat chorus

  

  They sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud

  With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud

  Grieve not little darlin', my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free

  We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be

  

  Repeat chorus
