He looked down into her brown eyes, and said
E B7
"Say a prayer for me". She
Threw her arms around him, whispered
B7 E
"God will keep us free".
They could hear the riders comin', He said
A
"This is my last fight...If they
E
Take me back to Texas, they won't
B7 E
Take me back alive.
[Chorus]
E
There were seven Spanish angels, at the
B7
altar of the sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
E
valley of the gun.
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
A
there was thunder from the throne,
E B7
And seven spanish angels, took another
E
angel home.
[Verse]
E
She reached down and picked the gun up,
B7
that lay smokin in his hand.
She said, "Father please forgive me;
E
I can't make it without my man."
And she knew the gun was empty,
A
And she knew she couldn't win,
E
But her final prayer was answered
B7 E
When the rifles fired again.
[Chorus]
E
There were seven Spanish angels, at the
B7
altar of the sun.
They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
E
valley of the gun.
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
A
there was thunder from the throne,
E B7
And seven Spanish angels, took another
E
angel home.
[Outro]

Those seven Spanish angels took another angel home
