He looked/ down into her brown eyes, and said

CHORUS A:

A

There were seven Spanish angels, at the

E7

altar of the sun.

They were prayin' for the lovers, in the

A

valley of the gun.

When the /battle stopped and the smoke cleared,

D

there was thunder from the throne,

A E7

And seven spanish angels, took a-nother

A

angel home.

VERSE 2:

A /

She reached down and picked the gun up,

E7

that lay smokin in his hand.

She said, "Father please forgive me;

A

I can't make it without my man."

And she knew the gun was empty,

And she knew she couldn't win,

But her final prayer was answered

When the rifles fired again.
