Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5Seven Spanish Angels Recorded by Willie Nelson Written by Eddie Setser and Troy Seals Verse 1: G D He looked down into her brown eyes and said Say a prayer for me G She threw her arms around him whispered God will keep us free C They could see the riders coming He said This is my last fight G D G If they take me back to Texas They won't take me back alive Chorus: D There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun G They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gun C When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the throne G D G And seven Spanish angels Took another angel home Verse 2: D She reached down and picked the gun up That lay smoking in his hand G She said Father please forgive me I can't make it without my man C And she knew the gun was empty And she knew she could not win G D G But her final prayer was answered When the rifles fired again Chorus D There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun G They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gun C When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the throne G D G And seven Spanish angels Took another angel home Extra Verse written by Ed Kehler Verse 3: D They came and found the lovers as they lay there side by side G Their dreams had all been shattered they said she was his bride C And they laid them by the Altar in the valley of the gun G D G Now their final fight was over and their battle had been won Chorus: D There were seven Spanish angels At the altar of the sun G They were praying for the lovers In the valley of the gun C When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared There was thunder from the throne G D G And seven Spanish angels Took another angel home
