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.
