Seven Spanish Angels [D] - Willie Nelson [Verse] He looked [D]down into her brown eyes, And said, "Say a prayer for [A]me". And she [A7]threw her arms around him, Whispered, "God will keep us [D]free". [D]They could hear the riders coming, He said, "This is my last [G]fight. And if they take me back to [D]Texas, They won't [A]take me back [D]alive". |[Chorus] |There were [D]Seven Spanish Angels, |At the Altar of the [A]Sun. |They were [A7]praying for the lovers, |In the Valley of the [D]Gun. |[D]And when the battle stopped, and the smoke cleared, |There was thunder from the [G]Throne. |And the Seven Spanish [D]Angels, |Took an[A]other Angel [D]home. [Verse] She reached [D]down and picked the gun up, That lay smoking in his [A]hand. She said, "[A7]Father, please forgive me, I can't make it without my [D]man". [D]And she knew the gun was empty, And she knew she could not [G]win. But her final prayer was [D]answered, When the [A]rifles fired [D]again. |[Chorus] |There were [D]Seven Spanish Angels, |At the Altar of the [A]Sun. |They were [A7]praying for the lovers, |In the Valley of the [D]Gun. |[D]And when the battle stopped, and the smoke cleared, |There was thunder from the [G]Throne. |And the Seven Spanish [D]Angels, |Took an[A]other Angel [D]home.
