Seven Spanish Angels


            E            
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.


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
