VERSE ONE /VOCALS
F
He looked down into her brown eyes
                           C
and said "say a prayer for me" 
                          C7          
She threw her arms around him and whispered
                  F
God will keep us free

They could see the riders comin 
                        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 / VOCALS
F
There were seven Spanish angels
                    C
At the altar of the sun
          C7
They were prayin' for the lovers
                     F
In the valley of the gun

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
                            Bb
There was thunder from the throne
                   F
And seven spanish angels
      C            F
Took another angel home

VERSE TWO / VOCAL
F
She reached down and picked the gun up
                       C
That lay smokin in his hand
           C7
She said, "Father please forgive me
                           F
I can't make it without my man

And she knew the gun was empty
                          Bb
and she knew she couldn't win
                         F
But her final prayer was answered
          C           F
When the rifles fired again

Chorus

Bb                F      stop
And seven spanish angels
      C               F    
Took another... angel home
