Nelson Willie - Seven Spanish Angels Tabs

This is a very easy song to play, but there's one element 
you should be aware of. It moves up 1/2 a step after the 
2nd chorus. Now if you wanna pull something really slick 
you can tune your guitar up REALLY fast, but you'd have
to be really really cool. All the chords are here though.

There were seven Spanish angels, at the

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.
