[B]
[E]
You wouldn't read my letter if [A] I wrote you.
[B] You asked me not to call [B] you, oh [E] Paul, but there's something I'm wanting [A] to tell you.
So [B] I wrote it in the words of [E] this song.
[B] I didn't [E] know God made honky-tonk [A] angels.
I might have known it'd never make a [B] wise.
You gave [E] up the only one who [E] ever [A] loved you
[A] and went [B] back to the wild side [E] of life.
[F#m] [B] [E]
[G] [A]
As [D] I sit here tonight, the [G] jukebox playing
this [A] song about the wild side [D] of life.
As I listen [D] to the words you [G] are saying,
it [A] brings memories of when I was a [D] trusting wife.
It wasn't God who [D] made [E] honky [G]-tonk angels.
As you [A] say in the words of your [D] song,
too many times [A] married men think [G] they're single.
And [A] it's caused many a good girl to [D] go wrong.
It wasn't God who made honky [G]-tonk angels.
[A] I might have known it'd never make [D] a wise.
Too many times married men [G] think they're single.
And [A] go back to the wild [D] side of life.
They [A] go back to the wild [D] side of life.
