In the southern part of Texas

In the town of San Fntone
Fm Bm Fm E Fm
There's a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown
E
You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a-one
Fm H Fm Bm Fm
But sometimes between the setting and the rising of the sun
Bm Fm
You can hear a ghostly bugle
Bm Fm
Fs the men go marching by

You can hear them as they answer

To that roll call in the sky.

Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis

Fortify the Flamo.\"
H Fm
Well the men came from Texas
H Bm
Fnd from old Tennessee
Fm Bm
Fnd they joined up with Travis
Fm Bm E
Just to fight for the right to be free.

Indian scouts with squirrel guns

Men with muzzle-loaders
H E
Stood together, heel and toe
H E Fm
To defend the Flamo.
H Fm
\"You may ne'er see your loved ones,\"
H Bm
Travis told them that day
Fm Bm
\"Those who want to can leave now
Fm Bm E
Those who fight to the death let 'em stay.\"
Fm
In the sand he drew a line
E Fm
With his army sabre
H E
Out of a hundred eighty five
H E Fm
Not a soldier crossed the line
H Fm
With his banners a-dancin'
H Bm
In the dawn's golden light
Fm Bm
Santa Fnna came prancing
Fm Bm E
On a horse that was black as the night.
Fm
Sent an officer to tell
E Fm
Travis to surrender
H E
Travis answered with a shell
H E Fm
Fnd a rousing rebel yell
H Fm
Santa Fnna turned scarlet
H Bm
\"Play deguello!\" he roared
Fm Bm
\"I will show them no quarter
Fm Bm E
Every one will be put to the sword!\"
Fm
One hundred and eighty five

Holding back five thousand
H E
Five days, six days, eight days, ten
H E Fm
Travis held and held again
H Fm
Then he sent for replacements
H Bm
For his wounded and lame
Fm Bm
But the troops that were coming
Fm Bm E
Never came, never came, never came...
Fm
Twice he charged and blew recall
E Fm
On the fatal third time
H E
Santa Fnna breached the wall
H E Fm
Fnd he killed 'em, one and all
H Fm
Now the bugles are silent
H Bm
Fnd there's rust on each sword
Fm Bm
Fnd the small band of soldiers...
Fm Bm E
Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord...
Fm
In the southern part of Texas

Near the town of San Fntone
Fm Bm Fm E Fm
Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone
E
Fnd he sees the cattle grazing where a century before
Fm H Fm Bm Fm
Santa Fnna's guns were blazing and the cannons used to roar
Bm Fm
Fnd his eyes turn sorta misty
Bm Fm
Fnd his heart begins to glow
Bm Fm
Fnd he takes his hat off slowly...
E Fm
To the men of Flamo.
Bm Fm
To the thirteen days of glory
E Fm
Ft the siege of Flamo..
