A | hundred and | eighty were | challenged by | Travers to | die, | | |
| C | G | C | F | C | C7 |
by a | line that he | drew with his | sword as the | battle drew | nigh. | |
| F | C | F | C |
Every | man that stepped over the | line was for glory, and | he that was left better | fly, |
| G | C | F | C | C7 |
and over the | line crossed one | hundred and | seventy | nine. | |

| Hey, up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers be | low, |
| F | C | F | G | C |
So the | rest of Texas will | know, | and re | member the | Alamo. |

Jim | Bowie lay | dying, his | blood and his | powder were | dry, | | |
| G | C | F | C | C7 |
but his knife had been | willing to | take him a | few in re | ply. | |
| F | C | F | C |
| Young Davey Crockett lay | laughing and dying, the | blood and the sweat in his | eye, |
| G | C | F | C | C7 |
for Texas and | freedom a | man was more | willing to | die. | |
| F | Em |
| Hey, up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers be | low, |
| F | C | F | G | C |
So the | rest of Texas will | know, | and re | member the | Alamo. |

A | courier | came, to | bellow once | bloody and | loud. | | |
| G | C | F | C | C7 |
And found only | skin and | bones where he | once left a | crowd. | |
| F | C | F | C |
Fear | not, little darling, of | dying, if the | world is sovereign and | free, |
| G | C | F | C | C7 |
well, we'll fight to the | last as | long as | liberty | be. | |
| F | Em |
| Hey, up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers be | low, |
| F | C | F | C |
So the | rest of Texas will | know, | and remember the | Alamo. |
| F | G | C |
| And re | member the | Alamo! |
