[Intro] 
|riff || A7 ||% || D ||%
 
[Verse 1]
    D                            G 
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
    A7                              D 
You asked me not to call you on the phone
            D                        G 
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
     A7                            D 
So I wrote it in the words of this song
 
[Chorus]
         D                        G 
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
  A7                                  D 
I might have known you'd never make a wife
         D                         G 
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
         A7                      || D ||%
And went back to the wild side of life
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
    D                                G 
The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
       A7                               D 
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
          D                   G 
There you wait to be anybodys baby
       A7                            D 
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
 
[Chorus]
         D                        G 
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
  A7                                  D 
I might have known you'd never make a wife
         D                         G 
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
         A7                       D 
And went back to the wild side of life
