D                                G
You would'nt read my letter if I wrote you,
    A                               D
You asked me not to call you on the phone.
                                  G
But there's something I wanted to tell you,
     A                             D
So I wrote it in the words of this song.

 	  	   Chorus
                                  G
I did'nt know God made honky-tonk angels,
  A                                  D
I might have never know you'd make a wife.
                                  G
You gave up the only one who ever loved you,
         A                        D
And went back to the wild side of life.

D                                   G
The glamour of the gain my life has lurred you,
       A                                D
To the places where the wine and liqour flow.
                               G
Where you wait to be anybody's baby,
       A                               D
And forget the truest love you'll ever know.

                Sing Chorus
