Bb                              Eb
    Well, you wouldn?t read my letters if I wrote you
        F                               Bb
    You ask me not to call you on the phone
                                                      Eb
    Well, there?s something I?ve been waiting for to tell you
           F                         Bb
    So I wrote it in the words of a song

    verse:
    Now the glamour of the game that life has lured you
    To the places where the wine and liquer flow
    Well, you went to be some body else?s baby
    And forget the truest love you ever know


    chorus:
              Bb                         Eb
    I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
           F                                Bb
    Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
                                        Eb  -   C
    You gave up the only one that ever loved you
              F                         Bb
    And went back to that wild side of life

    guitar solo: (there are two guitars playing,
    but I only write down one line.)
