INTRO: A F#M (x4422) D A

A /A
He looked/ down into her blue eyes, and said
E7
'Say a prayer for me'. She
E7
Threw her arms around him, whispered
E7
'God will keep us free'.
A
They could hear the riders comin', He said
D
'This is my last fight...If they
A
Take me back to Texas, they won't
E7 A
Take me back a-live.
----------------------------------------
CHORUS A:
A
There were seven Spanish angels, at the
E7
altar of the sun.

They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
A
valley of the gun.

When the /battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
D
there was thunder from the throne,
A E7
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother
A
angel home.
-----------------------------------------

VERSE 2:
A /
She reached down and picked the gun up,
E7
that lay smokin in his hand.

She said, 'Father please forgive me;
A
I can't make it without my man.'

And she knew the gun was empty,

And she knew she couldn't win,

But her final prayer was answered

When the rifles fired again.
