He looked down into her brown eyes, and said
E7
"Say a prayer for me".  She
E7
Threw her arms around him, whispered
E7
"God will keep us free".

They could hear the riders comin', He said
                 D
"This is my last fight...If they
                A
Take me back to Texas, they won't
E7             A
Take me back a-live.


[Chorus 1]

There were seven Spanish angels, at the
              E7
altar of the sun.

They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
               A
valley of the gun.

When the  battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
                           D
there was thunder from the throne,
                  A              E7
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother
      A
angel home.


[Verse 2]

A         
She reached down and picked the gun up,
                        E7
that lay smokin' in his hand.

She said, "Father please forgive me;
                           A
I can't make it without my man."

And she knew the gun was empty,

And she knew she could not win,

But her final prayer was answered

When the rifles fired again.

valley of the gun.

When the  battle stopped and the smoke cleared,

                     Bb       F7 
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother
