E                                                          B
He looked down into her brown eyes and said  Say a prayer for me
                                                          E
She threw her arms around him whispered God will keep us free
                                                            A
They could see the riders coming  He said This is my last fight
                          E                 B            E
If they take me back to Texas  They won't take me back alive



🎸 Chorus:
E                                                      B
There were seven Spanish angels  At the altar of the sun
                                                         E
They were praying for the lovers   In the valley of the gun
                                                                             A
 When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared  There was thunder from the throne
                    E             B           E
And seven Spanish angels  Took another angel home

🎸 Verse 2:
E                                                                 B
She reached down and picked the gun up  That lay smoking in his hand
                                                               E
She said Father please forgive me  I can't make it without my man
                                                            A
And she knew the gun was empty  And she knew she could not win
                           E                  B            E
But her final prayer was answered  When the rifles fired again

                                                         E
They were praying for the lovers   In the valley of the gun
                                                                             A
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared  There was thunder from the throne
                    E             B           E
And seven Spanish angels  Took another angel home
