Waylon Jennings & Jessi Colter - Honky Tonk Angels Intro: A B7 E Verse: (Waylon) E A You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you B7 E You asked me not to call you on the phone A But there's something I'm wanting to tell you B7 E So I wrote it in the words of this song Chorus:
E A I didn't know God made honky tonk angels B7 E I might have known you'd never make a wife A You gave up the only one who ever loved you B7 E And went back to the wild side of life Verse: (Jessi) D G As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playin' A7 D Your song about the wild side of life G As I listen to the words you are sayin' A7 D It brings memories of when I was a trusting wife Chorus: D G It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels A7 D As you say in the words of your song G Too many times married men think they're single A7 D And it's caused many a good girl to go wrong Chorus: (Jessi and Waylon) D G It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels A7 D I might have known you'd never make a wife G Too many times married men think they're single A7 D And go back to the wild side of life A7 D A7 D
