Seven Spanish Angels

there are lots of complicated versions of this song , they’re probably all right , but this is a lot easier and i think it sounds just as good . some people say this sounds better with a capo on the 3rd fret , personally i play it without a capo , but try lots of different things and see what works for you . ( D ) he looked down into her brown eyes , ( A ) and said , "say a prayer for me" . ( A7 ) and she threw her arms around him , ( D ) whispered , "god will keep us free" . ( D ) they could hear the riders coming , ( G ) he said , "this is my last fight . ( D ) and if they take me back to texas , ( A ) ( D ) they won’t take me back alive" . Chorus : ( D ) there were seven spanish angels , ( A ) at the altar of the sun . ( A7 ) they were praying for the lovers , ( D ) in the valley of the gun . ( D ) and when the battle stopped , and the smoke cleared , ( G ) there was thunder from the throne . ( D ) and the seven spanish angels , ( A ) ( D ) took another angel home . ( D ) she reached down and picked the gun up , ( A ) that lay smoking in his hand . ( A7 ) she said , "father , please forgive me , ( D ) i can’t make it without my man" . ( D ) and she knew the gun was empty , ( G ) and she knew she could not win . ( D ) but her final prayer was answered , ( A ) ( D ) when the rifles fired again . Chorus : ( D ) there were seven spanish angels , ( A ) at the altar of the sun . ( A7 ) they were praying for the lovers , ( D ) in the valley of the gun . ( D ) and when the battle stopped , and the smoke cleared , ( G ) there was thunder from the throne . ( D ) and the seven spanish angels , ( A ) ( D ) took another angel home .
