[Verse 1]
    A       
You wouldn\'t
 read 
   A      
my letter if 
  D          D
I wrote you,
    E       
you asked me not 
   E 
to call
 you on the 
A       A
phone.
But there\'s 
A           
something 
    A     
I\'m wanting 
   D        D
to tell you,
      E     
so, I wrote it
 in the 
E             
words of this 
A       A
song.



[Chorus]
         A  
I didn\'t know 
God made 
A          
Honky Tonk 
D      D
angels,
  E     
I might have 
known 
you\'d 
E            
never make a 
A       A
wife.
         A  
You gave up 
the only 
A  
one that ever 
D        D
loved you
         E 
and went back 
to the 
E            
wild side of 
A       A
life.

[Verse 2]
          A 
Well, the glamor
 of the 
A 
gay nightlife 
    D          D
has lured you
       E    
to the places 
where the 
E               
wine and liquor 
A       A
flow,
          A   
where you wait
 to be 
A         D    D
anybody\'s baby
       E   
and forget the
 truest 
E 
love you\'ll 
     A       A
ever know.

[End-Chorus]
         A   
I didn\'t know
 God 
     A  
made Honky 
     D      D
Tonk angels,
  E          
I might have 
known you\'d 
E            
never make a 
A    A
wife.
         A  
You gave up 
the only 
A             
one that ever 
D        D
loved you
         E   
and went back 
to the 
E            
wild side of 
A       A
life,
         E    
and went back to
     E  
 the wild side of 
A   D   A E A  (A7)
life.
