Seven Spanish Angels Chords

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.
