Ballad Of The Alamo - Marty Robbins Chords

Chords: Am, G, Dm, E, C, Em, Bowie, Alamo”

More chords by Marty Robbins

Genre: country, western, folk


I was learning to play some of my friends favorite songs,

so I thought this needed to be on Ultimate Guitar.

It sounds good with a capo on the third fret.

Tell me if the chords are right, and if it sounds better with

a different capo placement. (I'm new to figuring out songs)

Fortify the Alamo”

Well the men came from Texas
