                       D                                                                                  A

1. He looked down into her brown eyes and said, “Say a prayer for me!”

                                                                              A7                       D

    She threw her arms around him, whispered, “God will keep us free.”

                                                                            D7                 G

    They could hear the riders comin, he said, “This is my last fight,

                                           D                         A                     D

    if they take me back to Texas, they won't take me back alive.

 

                     D                                                             A

There were seven Spanish angels at the altar of the sun,

                                                             A7                D

they were prayin' for the lovers in the valley of the gun.

                                                                           

When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared,

                   D7                        G

there was thunder from the throne,

                                 D                   A                   D

and seven Spanish angels took another angel home.

 

                           D                                                                              A

3. She reached down and picked the gun up that lay smokin in his hand,

                                                                          A7                           D

    she said, "Father please forgive me I can't make it without my man.”

                                                                             D7                       G

    And she knew the gun was empty, and she knew she couldn't win,

                                           D                             A                 D

   but her final prayer was answered when the rifles fired again.

Today I started loving you again,

and I'm right back where I've really always been.

                               D7                   G                             D

I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend,

and then today I started loving you again.

1. What a fool I was       to think I could get by,

                                                                    A

    with only these few teardrops that I've cried.

                               D   - G                                      D

  I GOTTA GET DRUNK

 

             D

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,

                 G                                    D

'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.

 

I start to spend my money, callin' everybody honey,

         E                            A

and wind up singin' the blues.

                          G                          D

I've spent my whole paycheck on some old wreck,

                                                  A

and brother, I can name you a few.

             D                               G

Well, I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it,

                 D             A                    D

'cause I know just what I'm gonna do.

 

        D

2. I gotta get drunk, I can't stay sober,

                   G                                D

    there's a lot of good people in town,

 

    who'd like to hear me holler, see me spend my dollars,

                E                                        A

    and I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down.

        G

    There's a lot of doctors that tell me,

                  D                                  A

    that I'd better start to slowin' it down.

                         D                                        G

    But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors,

              D                         A                    D

    so I guess we'd better have another round.
