Biography:
Donovan Philips Leitch (born May 10, 1946 in Maryhill, Glasgow), better known as simply Donovan, is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and musician. Originally a '60s folk singer, as the decade progressed Donovan cultivated his own unique eclectic sound, mixing elements of folk, pop, jazz, world music and more, often with a twinge of psychedelia. His most well-known work was suffused with altruistic political overtones, making him an iconic figure of the "flower power" counter-culture of the '60s.

Verse 1
C G C F C G C G
A hundred and eighty are challenged by Travis to die
C G C F C C7
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
F Em
A man that crossed over the line was for glory
F C
And he that was left better fly
G C F C C7
And over the line crossed a hundred and seventy nine
Chorus
F Em
Hey up Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
F C G C G Em F C G C G C G
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo
Verse 2
C G C F C G C G
Jim Bowie lay dying his blood and his powder run dry
C G C F C C7
But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply
F Em
Young Davy Crockett lay laughing and dying
F C
The blood and the sweat in his eyes
G C F C C7
For Texas and freedom a man was more willing to die
Chorus
F Em
Hey up Santa Anna they're killing your soldiers below
F C G C G Em F C G C G C G
So the rest of Texas will know and remember The Alamo
Verse 3
C G C F C G C G
A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
C G C F C C7
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd
F Em
Fear not little darling of dying
F C
If the world is sovereign and free
G C F C C7
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be
Chorus
