A A7 He looked down into her brown eyes, E And said, "Say a prayer for me". E7 And she threw her arms around him, A A7 Whispered, "God will keep us free". A They could hear the riders coming, D He said, "This is my last fight. A And if they take me back to Texas, E A A7 They won't take me back alive". A There were Seven Spanish Angels, E At the Altar of the Sun. E7 They were praying for the lovers, A A7 In the Valley of the Gun. A And when the battle stopped, and the smoke cleared, D There was thunder from the Throne. A And the Seven Spanish Angels, E A A7 Took another Angel home. A A7 She reached down and picked the gun up, E That lay smoking in his hand. E7 She said, "Father, please forgive me, A A7 I can't make it without my man". A And she knew the gun was empty, D And she knew she could not win. A But her final prayer was answered, E A A7 When the rifles fired again. D There where Seven Spanish Angels, A E A Took another Angel home. D There where Seven Spanish Angels, A E A Took another Angel home.
