D                                   G
You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
    A                                D
You asked me not to call you on the phone
           D7                                    G
For there's something I'm been wanting to tell you
     A                                D
So I wrote it in the words of this song

MAN:[Chorus]

D                                 G
I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
   A                                   D
I should have known you'd never make a wife
         D7                         G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
           A                      D
And went back to the wild side of life

WOMAN:[Verse 2]

A                                 D
As I sit here tonight the jukebox playing
   E                           A
The tune about the wild side of life
      A                           D
As I listen to the words you are saying
           E                                A
It brings memories of when I was a trustful wife


GIRL [Chorus]
          A                       D

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
        E                         A
As you said in the words of your song
         A                                       D
Too many times married men think
                D
they're still single
          E                             A
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

GIRL :[Verse 3]
        A                                D

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women
          E                               A
It's not true that only you men feel the same
           A                                 D
From the start most every heart that's ever broken
       E                                A
Was because there always was a man to blame

WOMAN: CHORUS
           A                       D
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
        E                         A
As you said in the words of your song
         A                                       D
Too many times married men think they're still single
          E                             A
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong
