Waylon Jennings - Honky tonk angels

You ^Ewouldn't read my letter if I ^Awrote you You ^B7asked me not to call you on the ^Ephone But there's something I'm wanting to ^Atell you So I ^B7wrote it in the words of this ^Esong

I didn't ^Eknow God made honky tonk a^Angels I ^B7might have known you'd never make a ^Ewife You gave up the only one who ever l^Aoved you And went ^B7back to the wild side of ^Elife

As I ^Dsit here tonight, the jukebox ^Gplayin' Your ^A7song about the wild side of ^Dlife As I listen to the words you are ^Gsayin' It brings ^A7memories of when I was a trusting ^Dwife

It wasn't ^DGod who made honky tonk ^Gangels As you ^A7say in the words of your ^Dsong Too many times married men think they're ^Gsingle And it's ^A7caused many a good girl to go ^Dwrong

It wasn't ^DGod who made honky tonk ^Gangels I ^A7might have known you'd never make a ^Dwife Too many times married men think they're ^Gsingle And go ^A7back to the wild side of ^Dlife They go ^A7back to the wild side of ^Dlife ^{A7 D}
