( A5 )( A5 )
He looked down into her brown eyes,
                            ( E5 ) 
And said, "Say a prayer for me".
         ( E5 )
And she threw her arms around him ,
                              ( A5 )( A5 )
Whispered, "God will keep us free".
( A5 )
They could hear the riders coming,
                           ( D5 )
He said, "This is my last fight.
                     ( A5 )
And if they take me back to Texas,
            ( E5 )          ( A5 )( A5 )
They won't take me back alive".


Chorus:
            ( A5 )
There were Seven Spanish Angels,
                    ( E5 )
At the Altar of the Sun.
           ( E5 )      
They were praying for the lovers,
                     ( A5 ) ( A5 )
In the Valley of the Gun.
( A5 )
And when the battle stopped, and the smoke cleared,
                             ( D5 )
There was thunder from the Throne.
                      ( A5 )
And the Seven Spanish Angels,
        ( E5 )         ( A5 ) ( A5 )
Took another Angel home.


             ( A5 ) ( A5 )
She reached down and picked the gun up,
                         ( E5 )
That lay smoking in his hand.
            ( E5 )
She said, "Father, please forgive me,
                           ( A5 ) ( A5 )
I can't make it without my man".
( A5 )
And she knew the gun was empty,
                           ( D5 )
And she knew she could not win.
                          ( A5 )
But her final prayer was answered,
          ( E5 )           ( A5 ) ( A5 )
When the rifles fired again.

Chorus:

                      ( D5 )
There where Seven Spanish Angels,
        ( A5 )         ( E5 )       ( A5 )
Took another Angel home.

                      ( D5 )
There where Seven Spanish Angels,
        ( A5 )         ( E5 )       ( A5 )
Took another Angel home.
