Honky Tonk Angels

	  		
Intro: A  B7  E 


Verse 
(Waylon) 

    E                            A 
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you 
    B7                              E 
You asked me not to call you on the phone 
                                     A 
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you 
     B7                            E 
So I wrote it in the words of this song 


         E                         A 
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels 
  B7                                  E      
I might have known you'd never make a wife 
                                   A 
You gave up the only one who ever loved you 
         B7                       E 
And went back to the wild side of life 



Verse 
(Jessi) 

     D                             G 
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin' 
     A7                          D 
Your song about the wild side of life 
                                 G 
As I listen to the words you are sayin' 
          A7                                D 
It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife 


          D                       G 
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels 
       A7                       D 
As you say in the words of your song 
                                         G 
Too many times married men think they're single 
         A7                            D 
And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong 
 

          D                       G 
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels 
  A7                                  D 
I might have known you'd never make a wife 
                                         G 
Too many times married men think they're single 
       A7                       D 
And go back to the wild side of life 
        A7                       D     A7  D 
They go back to the wild side of life
