Version 1[Introduction] 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 [Instrumental] D G A7 D [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
