^A He looked/ ^/A 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
"This is my last ^D fight...If they
Take me back to ^A Texas, they won't
^E7 Take me back a- ^A live.

CHORUS A:
^A There were seven Spanish angels, at the
altar of the s ^E7 un.
They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
valley of the g ^A un.
When the /battle stopped and the smoke cleared,
there was thunder from the ^D throne,
And seven spanish ^A angels, took a- ^E7 nother
angel ^A home.

VERSE 2:
^A She reached down and picked the gun up,
that lay smokin in his h ^E7 and.
She said, "Father please forgive me;
I can't make it without my ^A 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.
