DHe looked down into her brown eyes,
AAnd said, "Say a prayer for me".
A7And she threw her arms around him,
DWhispered, "God will keep us free".

GHe said, "This is my last fight.
DAnd if they take me back to Texas,
AThey won't take me back alive". D

DThere were Seven Spanish Angels,
AAt the Altar of the Sun.
A7They were praying for the lovers,
DIn the Valley of the Gun.

GThere was thunder from the Throne.
DAnd the Seven Spanish Angels,
ATook another Angel home. D

DShe reached down and picked the gun up,
AThat lay smoking in his hand.
A7She said, "Father, please forgive me,
DI can't make it without my man".
DAnd she knew the gun was empty,
GAnd she knew she could not win.
DBut her final prayer was answered,
AWhen the rifles fired again. D
