Written by Arlie A. Carter, William Warren

Key of D · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

    D        D7      G
You wouldn’t read my letter if I wrote you
    A7                          D
You asked me not to call you on the phone
                      D7  G
But there’s something I’m wanting to tell you
   A7                       D
So I put it in the words of this song

Chorus

              D7       G
I didn’t know God made honky tonks angels
  A7                                D
I might have known you’d never make a wife
                     D7            G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
         A7                    D
And went back to the wild side of life

Verse 2

    D       D7         G
The glamour of the gay night life has lured you
   A7                            D
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
          D7      G
Where you wait to be anybody’s baby
           A7                  D
And forget the truest love you will ever know
