D                           G
There was thunder from the throne

And seven spanish angels
      A             D

VERSE ONE /VOCALS
D
He looked down into her brown eyes 
                           A
and said “say a prayer for me” 
                          A7          
She threw her arms around him and whispered
                  D
God will keep us free

They could see the riders comin 
                        G
He said This is my last fight
                         D
If they take me back to Texas
            A            D
They won't take me back alive

CHORUS / VOCALS
D
There were seven Spanish angels
                    A
At the altar of the sun
          A7
They were prayin' for the lovers
                     D
In the valley of the gun

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
                            G
There was thunder from the throne
                   D
And seven spanish angels
      A            D
Took another angel home

TURNAROUND/ INSTRUMENTALLY

VERSE TWO / VOCAL
D
She reached down and picked the gun up
                       A
That lay smokin in his hand
           A7
She said, "Father please forgive me
                           D
I can't make it without my man

And she knew the gun was empty
                          G
and she knew she couldn’t win
                         D
But her final prayer was answered
          A           D
When the rifles fired again

CHORUS :REPEAT THREE TIMES :  (OPTIONAL FULL STEP UP)
