 E                                A         
 You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you,
        B                               E     
 You've 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.
 
                                       A         
 The glamour of the gay night life had lured you,
        B                                E    
 to the places where the wine and liquor flow.
                                      A    
 Where you're waiting to be anybody's baby,
          B                            E   
 and give up the only love you'll ever know
 
 repeat chorus... last 2 lines twice... (I like too go up on last time
 like this)
 E                                  A         
 You gave up the only one that ever loved you,
 A7       B                        E    
 and went back to the wild side of life.
 
 I play my A7 as a normal A and hold the high E string at the 3rd fret.
