Chords

 D                   (D7)              G
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you

 A7                                 D
You asked me not to call you on the phone

                             (D7)          G
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you

     A7                              D
So I wrote it in the words of this  song.
[Chorus]
                    (D7)             G
I Didn't know God made honky tonk angels

 A7                                   D
I might have known you'd never make a wife

                       D7               G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you

          A7                       D
And went back to the wild side of life.

D                   (D7)              G
The glamor of the gay night life has lured you

 A7                                 D
To the places where the wine and liquor flows

                (D7)          G
Where you wait to be anybody's baby

           A7                       D
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.
[Chorus]
                (D7)             G
I Didn't know God made honky tonk angels

 A7                                   D
I might have known you'd never make a wife

                       D7               G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you

          A7                       D
And went back to the wild side of life.

D                   (D7)              G
It hurt me to know that you don't love me,

A7                                 D
Though I know our love's forever gone,

                 (D7)                G
And it killed my soul and pride dear inside me,

                 A7                       D
When I saw you in that stranger's arms so long.
[Chorus]
                (D7)             G
I Didn't know God made honky tonk angels

 A7                                   D
I might have known you'd never make a wife

                       D7               G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you

          A7                       D
And went back to the wild side of life.

D                   (D7)              G
I'll just live my life alone with mem-ries of you,

A7                                   D
And dream of kisses you traded for my tears,

                  (D7)          G
And no one will ever know how much I loved you,

   A7                                      D
And I pray that you'll be happy through the years.
[Chorus]
                (D7)             G
I Didn't know God made honky tonk angels

 A7                                   D
I might have known you'd never make a wife

                       D7               G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you

          A7                       D
And went back to the wild side of life.
