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

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
