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. 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.
