This Is Texas Land Chords

(ver. 1)
Boxcar Willie
[Intro]
N.C.
This is a song about my home state
 
[Verse]
D                                 G             D
In eighteen hundred thirty-six outside of San Antone
                                   A
Waved to the volunteers stood all alone
   D                       G           D
Surrounded by an army from down in Mexico
                                    C7            D
Determined they would take a church called the Alamo
 
[Verse]
                          G             D
General sent a message surrender to the man
                                                       A
But the cannon that we fired could be heard to the Rio Grande
      D                          G              D
And a message was on the lips of each and every man
                               C7            D
Well, the hell with Santa Anna this is Texas land
 
[Chorus]
G                            D
The hell with Santa Anna for this is Texas land
G                  D          A
From the Red River to the Rio Grande
   D                                   G            D
We fought the bold for what we got now we'll fight again
                            C7            D    D
So, to hell with Santa Anna this is Texas land
 
[Verse]
    D                          G            D
The battle raged for many days and for many nights
                                                  A
This brave group of volunteers fighting for their rights
    D                       G                D
And every man he understood and he seemed to know
                                  C7                  D
That he was doomed to die in this place called the Alamo
 
[Verse]
                                 G             D
Now Travis gave his men a choice on that first day
                                             A
And anyone that wanted to could proudly run away
      D                          G              D
But a message was on the lips of each and every man
                              C7            D
Well the hell with Santa Anna this is Texas land
 
[Chorus]
G                            D
The hell with Santa Anna for this is Texas land
 
G                  D          A
From the Red River to the Rio Grande
   D                                   G            D
We fought the bold for what we got now we'll fight again
                            C7            D    D
So, to hell with Santa Anna this is Texas land
                              C7            D
Yeah the hell with Santa Anna this is Texas Land
