The Alamo Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

1.A [C]hundred and [G7]eighty were [C]challenged by [G7]Travis to [C]dieG7 C G7C
By the [C]line that he [G7]drew with his [C]sword when the [G7]battle was[C] n[G7]igh[C G7]
Any [F]man that would fight to the [C]death, cross over
But if [F]you wanna live, you better [C]fly
And [C]over the [G7]line stepped a [C]hundred and [G7]seventy [C]ni[G7]ne [C G7]

[CHORUS]
[F]Hey, Santa Ana, we're killing you're soldiers be[C]low
So [F]men, wherever they go, will remember the Ala[C]mo[G7 C G7 C]

2.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

[CHORUS]

3.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

[CHORUS]
