As recorded by Waylon Jennings & Jessi Colter (From the 1981 Album LEATHER & LACE) [Intro] B E [Verse 1]
E                                A
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you

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

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

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

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

                                   A
You gave up the only one that ever loved you

         B                      E
And went back to the wild side of life
[Guitar Solo] B E A N.C. [Verse 2]
     D                              G
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing

  A7                         D
A song bout the wild side of life

                   D7            G
As I listen to the words you are saying

          A7                             D
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife
[Chorus]
                       D7         G
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

       A7                       D
As you say in the words of your song

                           D7            G
Too many times married men think they're single

            A7                            D
And they've caused many a good girl to go wrong

                       D7         G
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels

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

                       D7                G
Too many times married men think they're single

       A7                    D
And go back to the wild side of life
[Outro]
        A7                       D
They go back to the wild side of life
