     E               E7           A
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you

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

         E                       E7          A
There's something that I've been wanting to tell you

      B7                            E
So I wrote it in the words of this song
[Chorus]
          E            E7         A
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels

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

         E           E7            A
You gave up the only one who ever loved you

          B7                       E
And went back to the wild side of life
[Interlude] | E | E7 | A | A | | B7 | B7 | E | E | x2 [Verse 2]
     E             E7                  A
The glamour of the gay night life has lured you

        B7                               E
To the places where the wine and liquor flow

           E         E7         A
Where you wait to be anybody's darling

        B7                              E
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
[Chorus]
          E            E7         A
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels

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

         E           E7            A
You gave up the only one who ever loved you

          B7                       E
And went back to the wild side of life

          B7                       E
And went back to the wild side of life
