Across The Alley From The Alamo Chords

(ver. 2)
Bob Wills
[Intro] C      G7   Dm7   G7  C  
 
          C         
[Verse 1]  Across the alley from the Alamo lived a pinto pony and
           G7                                        Dm7
a Navajo. Who sang a sort of Indian Hideho to the people
G7       C      
passing by. The pinto spent his time a swishing flies. The
                               G7
Navajo watched the lazy skies. Very rarely did they ever rest their
            Dm7    G7      C       F               C       F
eyes on the people passing by. One day they went a walkin' along
             C                D7            Am           D7
the railroad track. They were swishing' not lookin' Toot toot
                    G7      C
 -- they never came back. Across the alley from the Alamo when the 
                                    G7  
summer sun decides to settle low, a fly sings an Indian Hideho to the 
Dm7    G7      C
people passing by.

[Verse 2]  Across the alley from the Alamo lived a pinto pony and
              G7  
a Navajo, who used to bake frijoles in cornmeal dough for the
Dm7     G7     C 
people passing by. They thought that they would make some easy
                                                      G7
bucks if they washed their frijoles in Duz and Lux. A pair of
                                 Dm7    G7      C
very conscientious clucks to the people passing by. Then they
F               C               F                   C
took this cheap vacation. Their shoes were polished bright.
        D7               Am           D7                        G7 
No they never heard the whistle. Toot Toot, they're clear out of sight.
C                    
Across the alley from the Alamo, when the starlight beams its tender glow,
     G7                                                Dm7   
the beams go to sleep and there ain't no dough for the people
G7      C                    G7                C
 passing by.     Across the A-l-l-e-y From The Alamo
