Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
I've been riding [F]all day
[Am]long through the wall of [F]rain[Am]
In the shadow [F]of the mountains
[Am]on the barren plains[F][C]
To my an[G]gel in the [Dm]village
where a lamplight [F]glows[C]
If the dogs there [G]don't betray me,
[F]no one will know

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 2]
In the city [F]of the soldier,
[Am]in the time of war[F][Am]
There I met my An[F]gelina,
[Am]I was [F]24[C]
We made arrangements [G]soon
[Dm]thereafter
Wedding plans [F]were [C]drawn just beyond
the [G]sound of [F]laughter

[Verse 3]
Cannons thundered [Am]on w[F]hen [Am]I en[F]lis[Am]ted in the army,[F]
[Am]Angelina cried[F]
[Am]I whispered to her,
[F]"Don't you [Am]worry God is on our [F]side"[C]
On [G]the battlegrounds before me
His [Dm]plan was soon [F]revealed[G]
[C]He guided me to fam[G]e and
[F]glory on the battlefield
[Am][F][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Ooh o[G]oh, the raven flie[Am]s,
[F]ooh ooh, [G]the coyote cries

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 5]
Juan Miguel [F]Ramos Montoya
[Am]led his rebels well[F]
[Am]We fought them through the Emerald[F]
[Am]Valley to the Sacred [F]Hill[C]
In the end we [G]were defeated,
[Dm]I was left for[F] dea[C]d
Juan Montoya [G]took our city,
[F]Angelina fled

[Interlude 3]
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]I took to hiding in th[F]e mountains
[Am]through the wintertime
[F]In [Am]the spring I rode to[F]
[Am]safety across the borderline
[F]I s[G]ent[C] word to Angelina,[G]
[Dm]soon I will [F]return
[C]With the full moon in [G]the window,
[F]let your lamplight bur[Am]n
[F][Am][F]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
From the bluff above [F]her village,
[Am]my hope has turned to frig[F]ht[Am]
Only darkness in [F]the windows,
[Am]not a single light[F]
[C]I cursed my God and sho[G]ok my
angry [Dm]fists at Him [F]above[C]
Twice for[G]saken,
once in [F]war and now in love
[Am][F]

[Verse 8]
[C]
[G]Oo h ooh, the raven [Am]flies, [C]ooh [F]ooh,[G]
the [Am]coyote cries
[F][Am][C][F]

[Verse 9]
[Am]I ran in rage toward[F] the chapel,
[Am]stricken by my loss[F]
[Am]I vowed to leave my li[F]feless
[Am]body upon His holy [F]Cross
[C]But at the altar of [G]the chapel,
[Dm]a lonely candle [F]shown
[C]Across the face of [G]Angelina kne[F]eling all
[Am]alone

[Interlude 4]
[F][Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[C]

[Verse 10]
Oo[G]h ooh, the raven f[Am]lies, o[F]oh ooh[G],

[C]ooh[F] ooh,[G] th[Am]e coyote cries[F]
