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.

[Verse]
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       
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.

[Outro]
         A              E          B7            A   E
Those seven Spanish angels took another angel home
