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.
