Waylon Jennings & Jessi Colter - Honky Tonk Angels [Intro] A B7 E [Verse] (Waylon)
    E                            A
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you

    B7                              E
You asked me not to call you on the phone

                                     A
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you

     B7                            E
So I wrote it in the words of this song
[Chorus]
         E                         A
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels

  B7                                  E     
I might have known you'd never make a wife

                                   A
You gave up the only one who ever loved you

         B7                       E
And went back to the wild side of life
[Verse] (Jessi)
     D                             G
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin'

     A7                          D
Your song about the wild side of life

                                 G
As I listen to the words you are sayin'

          A7                                D
It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife
[Chorus]
          D                       G
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

       A7                       D
As you say in the words of your song

                                         G
Too many times married men think they're single

         A7                            D
And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong
[Chorus] (Jessi and Waylon)
          D                       G
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

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

                                         G
Too many times married men think they're single

       A7                       D
And go back to the wild side of life

        A7                       D     A7  D
They go back to the wild side of life
