Johnny Cash - Remember the Alamo: chords

A
And a hundred and eighty were
challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with
his sword when the battle was nigh
     D                           A
Any man that would fight to the death cross over
    E7                           A
But him that would live better fly
And over the line went a hundred and seventy-nine

Chorus:
 D                                            E
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below
      D                 A         E7          A
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo

Bowie lay dying, but his powder was ready and dry
Flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply
And young David Crockett was singing and laughing
With gallantry fears in his eyes
For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die

And then 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 darling, my dying,
if Texas is sovereign and free
We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be
