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

Frode it seems like most of the songs posted by you are in C, do you have a different recording or do you prefer to play in C and transpose as such?
