VERSE 1:
[F] He looked down into her blue eyes, and said
[C7] "Say a prayer for me"
She threw her arms around him, whispered "God will keep us
[F] free"
They could hear the riders comin', he said "This is my last
[Bb] fight
If they take me back to
[F] Texas, they won't
[C7] take me back a-
[F]-live
CHORUS 1:
[F] There were seven Spanish angels, at the altar of the
[C7] sun
They were prayin' for the lovers, in the valley of the
[F] gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the
[Bb] throne
And seven spanish
[F] angels, took an-
[C7]-other angel
[F] home
VERSE 2:
[F] She reached down and picked the gun up, that lay smokin' in his
[C7] hand
She said, "Father please forgive me, I can't make it without my
[F] man"
And she knew the gun was empty, and she knew she couldn't
[Bb] win
But her final prayer was
[F] answered, when the
[C7] rifles fired a-
[F]-gain
