The Mills Brothers — Across the Alley From the Alamo
GDAm7D9G
Across the alley from the Al - a - mo
CdimGG/F#EmCdimAm7D9G
Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo
DAm7D9CdimDAm7D7
Who sang a sort of In - di - an "Hi - de - ho"
CC/BCdimD7GD7
To the peo - ple pas - sin' by.
GDAm7D9G
The pinto spent his time a - swish - in' flies
CdimGG/F#EmCdimAm7D9G
And the Nav - a - jo watched the la - zy skies
DAm7D9CdimDAm7D7
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
CC/BCdimD7G
On the peo - ple pas - sin' by.
Bridge 1:
CC/BAm7Am7/GG/F#Em7
One day, they went a walk - in'
Em6CC/BAm7Am7/GGGm7
A - long the rail - road track;
G/F#EmB+ Em7Em6
They were swish - in' not a - look - in' --
Bm7-5 A7CdimD7
Toot! Toot! -- they never came back.
GDAm7D9G
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo
CdimGG/F#EmCdimAm7D9G
When the summer sun decides to set - tle low
DAm7D9CdimDAm7D7
A fly sings an In - di - an "Hi - de - ho"
CC/BCdimD7GD7
To the peo - ple pass - ing by.
GDAm7D9G
Across the alley from the Al - a - mo
CdimGG/F#EmCdimAm7D9G
Lived a pin - to pony and a Nav - a - jo
DAm7D9CdimDAm7D7
Who used to bake fri - jo - les in corn - meal dough
CC/BCdimD7G
For the peo - ple pass - ing by.
GDAm7D9G
They thought that they would make some ea - sy bucks
CdimGG/F#EmCdimAm7D9G
By washin' their fri - jo - les in Duz and Lux,
DAm7D9CdimDAm7D7
A pair of very con - sci - en - tious clucks
CC/BCdimD7G
To the peo - ple pass - in' by.
Bridge 2:
CC/BAm7Am7/GGG/F#Em7
Then they took this cheap va - ca - tion,
Em6CC/BAm7Am7/GGGm7
Their shoes were pol - ished bright;
G/F#EmB+ Em7Em6
No, they never heard the whistle--
Bm7-5 CdimD7
Toot! Toot! they're clear out of sight
GDAm7D9G
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo,
CdimGG/F#EmCdimAm7D9G
When the starlight beams its ten - der glow,
DAm7D9CdimDAm7D7
The beams go to sleep and then there ain't no dough
CC/BCdimD7G
For the peo - ple pass - in' by.
Bridge 3:
CC/BAm7Am7/GG/Em7
One day, they went a walkin'

They were swishin' not a-lookin'--
Bm7-5 A7CdimD7
Toot! Toot!, they never came back.
GDAm7D9G
Oh, across the alley from the Al - a - mo
CdimGG/F#EmCdimAm7D9G
When the summer sun decides to set - tle low
