He looked down into her brown eyes, and said, say a prayer for me.

    B7                                                     E
She threw her arms around him, whispered, God will keep us free.

     E                                                      A
They could hear the riders coming, he said, this is my last fight.

                        E                 B7           E
If they take me back to Texas, they won't take me back alive.

CHORUS:

           E                                         B7
There were Seven Spanish Angels, at the Altar of the Sun.

          B7                                           E
They were praying for the lovers, in the Valley of the Gun.

     E
When the battle stopped, and the smoke cleared,

                           A
There was thunder from the Throne.

                  E             B7            E
And Seven Spanish Angels, took another Angel home.

TWO LINE BREAK:

    E                                                           B7
She reached down and picked the gun up, that lay smoking in his hand.

          B7                                                    E
She said, Father, please forgive me, I can't make it without my man.

    E                                                      A
And she knew the gun was empty, and she knew she could not win.

                         E                  B7           E
But her final prayer was answered, when the rifles fired again.

CHORUS (2x):
