Status: 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.
