( 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".


Chorus:
            ( 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.

Chorus:

                      ( 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.
