To the [Dm]Mexican [C]army. After

Troops of Santa Ana were
victorious [C]but too
Exhausted to hold on and
[F]the Texans [Bb]won the

Then from New [C]York
to Chicago. And when it
Joined [G5]the Union,
[Gm]Texas [Bb]was [F]the [C]biggest state.
[Gm]Yeah, [C]eve[F]rything from Texas is big,
[Bb]larger than
Life and [C]none bigger than
little Marvin Aday. So
Big his [F]daddy called him
Meat [Bb]Loaf. He grew
Into a big man,
with a big voice. And he sings
Big songs and has big hits. You can try and
Tear him down.
