A B7 E

[Verse] [ C F G7 C ]   You wouldn’t [C] read my letter if I [F] wrote you.  You [G7] asked me not to call you on the [C] phone.  But there’s [C] something I’m wanting to [F] tell you, so I G7] wrote it in the words of this [C] song

[CHORUS] – – – – – [ C F G7 C ]  I didn’t know God made honky tonk angels.  I might have known you’d never make a wife.  You gave-up the only one who ever loved you, and went back to the wild side of life.

[Verse] [ C F G7 C ]    So you sit there tonight, the jukebox playin’ a song about the wild side of life, and you listen to the words they are sayin’  It brings memories of when you were a trusting wife

[CHORUS] – – – – – [ C F G7 C ]    It wasn’t God who made honky tonk angels.  As they say in the words of this songToo many times married men think they’re single.  And it’s caused many a good girl to go wrong

[Verse] [ C F G7 C ]    It’s a shame that all the blame is on the women.  It’s not-true that men don’t share the blame.   From the start most-every heart that’s ever broken was because the men and women felt the same

[CHORUS] – – – – – [ C F G7 C ]    It wasn’t God who made honky tonk angels, as they say in the words of this songToo many times the married feel that they’re single.  And go back to the wild side of life.  They go back to the wild side of life
