He looked down into her brown eyes,
           F                C
and said "Say a prayer for me"
      C
She threw her arms around him,
            C                F
whispered "God will keep us free"
 
            F
They could hear the riders comin',
         F7               Bb
he said "This is my last fight...
         Bb               F
If they take me back to Texas,
           C              F
they won't take me back alive.
 
 
[Chorus A]
 
           F
There were seven Spanish angels,
       F               C
at the altar of the sun.
           C
They were prayin' for the lovers,
       C               F
in the valley of the gun.
          F
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
          F7                Bb
there was thunder from the throne.
    Bb              F           C             F
And seven Spanish angels, took another angel home.

F            F
She reached down and picked the gun up,
          F              C
that lay smokin' in his hand.
           C
She said, "Father, please forgive me;
         C                  F
I can't make it without my man."
 
         F
And she knew the gun was empty,
        F7                 Bb
And she knew she couldn't win,
         Bb                F
But her final prayer was answered
          C             F
When the rifles fired again.
