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.
[Verse]
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.
[Verse]
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.
