Verse 1
(G major) Commandancy of the Alamo San Antonio,
February 24th 1836
Verse 2
To the people of Texas (G major) and all the
Americans in the world
Fellow citizens and compatriots
I am besieged with a (B minor) thousand or (G major) more of the Mexic
(D major) ans under (C major) Santa Anna
And I have sustained a continual bombardment (D major) and
can (G major) nonade for twenty- four hours (D major)
(G major) And have not lost a man
The enemy has demanded
a surrender of discretion
Otherwise the garrison are to
(D major) be put to the sword if the fort is taken
(G major) I have answered the demand
with a cannon shot
And our flag still waves proudly from the walls
I shall nev (C major) er surrender or retreat
(D major) Then I call on you in the name of liberty
and of pat (G major) riotism
And of everything
dear to the American character
To come to our aide (C major) with all dispatch
The (G major) enemy is receiving reinforcements
daily
And will no doubt increase to three
or four thousand in four or five days
If this call is neglected,
I am determined to sustain as long as (D major) possible
(G major) And die like a soldier who never forgets
what is due his own honor
And that of his country, Victory (C major) or Death!
(G major)

Verse 3
William Barrett Travis,
Lieutenant Colonel, Com (D major) mandant
P.S. "The Lord is on our side (G major)
When the enemy appeared in (C major) sight we
had not three bushels of (G major) corn
We have since (D major) found in deserted houses
(G major) eighty or ninety bushels
And got into the walls twenty or thirty
(C major) head of beeves (D major)
