Seven Spanish Angels

G  
He looked down into her brown eyes and said 
                  D7  
Say a prayer for me  
 
She threw her arms around him whispered 
                  G  
God will keep us free 
 
They could see the riders coming  
                         C  
He said This is my last fight 
                         G  
If they take me back to Texas 
            D7             G  
They won't take me back alive 
 
There were seven Spanish angels 
                     D7  
At the altar of the sun 
 
They were praying 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 
      D7              G  
Took another angel home 
 
She reached down and picked the gun up 
                         D7  
That lay smoking 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  
And she knew she could not win 
                          G  
But her final prayer was answered 
          D7             G  
When the rifles fired again 
  
There were seven Spanish angels 
                     D7  
At the altar of the sun 
 
They were praying 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 
      D7              G  
Took another angel home
