[Verse 1]
[D]Across the [Em]alley [D]from the [C]Alamo
[G]Lived a pinto [Em]pony [D]and a [C]Nava[D]jo
Who sang a sort [Am]of In[D]dian "Hi- de- ho"
To the [C]people [D]passin' [G]by
[A]The[D] pin

[Verse 2]
[G]to [D]spent his[G]
[D]time [C]a- swishin' [G]flies
An[D]d the N[G]avajo w[Em]atched t[D]he lazy skies
And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes
On the people passin' [G]by
[E]One

[Verse 3]
[C]day they went [G]a- walkin'
[Em]Alon[C]g the rail[G]road track
[F#dim]They were[B] swishin',[Em]
not a- lookin'
[A]Toot! Toot! They never came [D]back[Em]
[D]Oh, across

[Verse 4]
the [G]alley [D]from the [C]Alamo[G]
When the summer [Em]sun
de[D]cides [C]to settle [D]low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi- de- ho"
To the people passing [G]by

[Verse 5]
Across [C]the alley from the Alamo
[G]Lived a pinto pony and [D]a Navajo
Who used to bake frijoles in [G]cornmeal dough
For the people passing by

[Verse 6]
[F#dim]They thought that they [B]would
make some [Em]easy bucks
By washin' their [D]frijoles in Duz and Lux
A pair of [A]very conscientious clucks
[Eb]To the people passin' by

[Verse 7]
[Eb]Then they [Ebsus4]took this [Eb]cheap vacatio[Ab]n
[Eb]Their [Ebsus4]shoes were polished brig[Ab]ht
[Db]No, they never heard the w[Ab]histle
Toot! Toot! They're
clear out of [Fm]sight

[Verse 8]
Oh, across the alley from [Db]the Alam[Ab]o
When [Eb]the starlight beams its tender glow
The beams go to sleep and
then [Bbm]there ain't no dough
[Db]For [Eb]the people passin' by

[Verse 9]
One day, they went [Ab]a walkin'
Along the [Gb]railroad track
They were swishin', [Db]not a- lookin'
Toot! Toot! They nev[Eb]er came back

[Verse 10]
Oh, across the alley from the Alamo
When the summer sun
decides to settle low
A fly sings an Indian "Hi- de- ho"
To the people passin' by
Across the alley from the Alamo
