G                                                             D
He looked down into her brown eyes and said "Say a prayer for me."
                                                          G
She threw her arms around him whispered "God will keep us free."
                                                            C
They could see the riders coming - He said "This is my last fight.
                        G                 D            G
If they take me back to Texas they won't take me back alive."
 
CHORUS 
G                                                     D
There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun
                                                      G
They were praying for the lovers in the valley of the gun
                                                                         C
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared there was thunder from the throne
                    G           D           G
And seven Spanish angels took another angel home
 
G                                                              D
She reached down and picked the gun up that lay smoking in his hand
                                                                G
She said "Father, please forgive me. I can't make it without my man."
                                                          C
And she knew the gun was empty and she knew she could not win
                         G                  D            G
But her final prayer was answered when the rifles fired again
 
                                                     D
There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun
                                                      G
They were praying for the lovers in the valley of the gun
                                                                         C
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared there was thunder from the throne
                    G          D            G
And seven Spanish angels took another angel home

                                                          D
They came and found the lovers as they lay there side by side
                                                            G
Their dreams had all been shattered - They said she was his bride
                                                      C
And they laid them by the altar in the valley of the gun
                          G               D              G
Now their final fight was over and their battle had been won

                                                     D
There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun
                                                      G
They were praying for the lovers in the valley of the gun
                                                                         C
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared there was thunder from the throne
                    G           D           G
And seven Spanish angels took another angel home
