  C                                    C                F
Threw her arms around him, whispered "God will keep us free"

There were seven Spanish angels, at the
F             C
altar of the sun.
            C
They were prayin' for the lovers, in the
  C            F
valley of the gun.
          F                           
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,

             F                A#
there was thunder from the throne,

      A#            F             C             F
And seven spanish angels, took a-nother angel home.

She reached down and picked the gun up, 

          F             C
that lay smokin in his hand.
             C               
She said, "Father please forgive me;

          C                 F
I can't make it without my man."

         F
And she knew the gun was empty,

         F                 A#
And she knew she couldn't win,

           A#              F
But her final prayer was answered

           C            F
When the rifles fired again.
