[Verse]
          F                       
He looked down into her brown eyes
                          C 
And said say a prayer for me
    C                        
She threw her arms around him
                           F   
Whispered God will keep us free
           F                     
They could hear the riders comin'
F               F7      Bb   
He said this is my last fight
                        F    
If they take me back to Texas
     C                  F    
They won't take me back alive


[Chorus]
           F                   
There were seven Spanish angels
                    C7  C
At the altar of the sun ■
                      C7        
They were prayin' for the lovers
                     F  
In the valley of the gun
         F                                   
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
                  F7       Bb    
There was thunder from the throne
                  F     
And seven Spanish angels
C7                 F   
Took another angel home


[Verse]
            F                         
She reached down and picked the gun up
         F              C   
That lay smokin' in his hand
         C                       
She said Father please forgive me
        C7      C          F  
I can't make it without my man
        F                     
And she knew the gun was empty
        F7                Bb 
And she knew she couldn't win
                         F       
But her final prayer was answered
         C7     C     F    
When the rifles fired again


[Chorus]
           F                   
There were seven Spanish angels
                    C7 
At the altar of the sun
          C       C7      C     
They were prayin' for the lovers
       C7            F  
In the valley of the gun
         F                                   
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
          F7               Bb    
There was thunder from the throne
                  F     
And seven Spanish angels
     C7            F   
Took another angel home
