 Wild Side of Life
 
 Recorded by Hank Thompson
 key of C moderate 4/4 time 
 
 
 C                                 F         
  You wouldn't read my letter if I  wrote you
     G7                               C      
 You  asked me not to call you on the  phone.
                                      F        
 But there's something I'm wanting to  tell you
      G7                             C     
 So I  wrote it in the words of this  song.
 
 (chorus)
                                   F      
 I didn't know God made honky tonk  angels
   G7                                    C    
 I  should have known you'd never make a  wife
                                    F         
 You gave up the only one that ever  loved you
          G7                        C     
 And went  back to the wild side of  life.
 
                                      F         
 The glamor of the gay night life has  lured you
        G7                                C      
 To the  places where the wine and liquor  flows.
                                F    
 There you wait to be anybody's  baby
         G7                             C     
 And for  get the only love you'll ever  know.
