Waylon Jennings & Jessi Colter - Honky Tonk Angels


Intro:

A augmentedA B7B7 E MajorE


Verse:
(Waylon)

  E MajorE              A augmentedA
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
  B7B7               E MajorE
You asked me not to call you on the phone
                   A augmentedA
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
   B7B7              E MajorE
So I wrote it in the words of this song

Chorus:

     E MajorE             A augmentedA
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
 B7B7                 E MajorE
I might have known you'd never make a wife
                  A augmentedA
You gave up the only one who ever loved you
     B7B7            E MajorE
And went back to the wild side of life


Verse:
(Jessi)

   D MajorD               G+G
As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin'
   A7A7             D MajorD
Your song about the wild side of life
                 G+G
As I listen to the words you are sayin'
     A7A7                D MajorD
It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife


Chorus:

     D MajorD            G+G
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
    A7A7            D MajorD
As you say in the words of your song
                     G+G
Too many times married men think they're single
     A7A7              D MajorD
And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong


Chorus:
(Jessi and Waylon)

     D MajorD            G+G
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
 A7A7                 D MajorD
I might have known you'd never make a wife
                     G+G
Too many times married men think they're single
    A7A7            D MajorD
And go back to the wild side of life
    A7A7            D MajorD   A7A7 D MajorD
