Seven Spanish Angels Willie Nelson

D
He looked down into her brown eyes and said
A7
Say a prayer for me
She threw her arms around him whispered
D
God will keep us free
They could see the riders coming
G
He said This is my last fight
D
If they take me back to Texas
A7 D
They won’t take me back alive
There were seven Spanish angels
A7
At the altar of the sun
They were praying for the lovers
D
In the valley of the gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
G
There was thunder from the throne
D
And seven Spanish angels
A7 D
Took another angel home
She reached down and picked the gun up
A7
That lay smoking in his hand
She said Father please forgive me
D
I can’t make it without my man
And she knew the gun was empty
G
And she knew she could not win
D
But her final prayer was answered
A7 D
When the rifles fired again
