G
He looked down into her brown eyes and said
D
Say a prayer for me
She threw her arms around him whispered
G
God will keep us free
They could see the riders comin
C
He said This is my last fight
G
If they take me back to Texas
D G
They won't take me back alive
G
There were seven Spanish angels
D
At the altar of the sun
They were prayin' for the lovers
G
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
C
There was thunder from the throne
G
And seven spanish angels
D G
Took another angel home
SOLO
G
She reached down and picked the gun up
D
That lay smokin in his hand
She said, "Father please forgive me
G
I can't make it without my man
And she knew the gun was empty
C
When she aimed at one of them
G
But her final prayer was answered
D G
When the rifles fired again
G
There were seven Spanish angels
D
At the altar of the sun
They were prayin' for the lovers
G
In the valley of the guns
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
C
There was thunder from the throne
G
And seven spanish angels
D G
Took another angel home
C G
And seven spanish angels
D G
Took another angel home
