[Verse 1]
G
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
G
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
C                               Bm
The man who would fight to the death crossed over
Am                             G
And him who would live, better fly
G
And over the line went a hundred and seventy-nine

[Chorus]
C                                           Bm
Ay, Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below!
C                      G
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo

[Verse 2]
G
Though Bowie lay dying his powder was ready and dry
G
From flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply
C                               Bm
And brave David Crockett was singing and laughing
Am                          G
With gallantry fierce in his eyes
G
For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die

[Chorus]
C                                           Bm
Ay, Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below!
C                      G
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo

G
They sent a young scout through the battle much bloody and loud
G
With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud
C                               Bm
Don't grieve little darling, my dying, if Texas is sovereign and free
G
We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be

[Chorus]
C                                           Bm
Ay, Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below!
C                      G
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo

[Outro]
G
Will remember the Alamo
G
Will remember.
