WILD SIDE OF LIFE
[Introduction] A7 D
[Verse 1]
D G
You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you
A7 D
You asked me not to call you on the phone
D G
But there's something I'm wanting to tell you
A7 D
So I wrote it in the words of this song
[Chorus]
D G
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
A7 D
I might have known you'd never make a wife
D G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
A7 D
And went back to the wild side of life
[Instrumental] D G A7 D
[Verse 2]
D G
The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
A7 D
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
D G
There you wait to be anybodys baby
A7 D
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
[Chorus]
D G
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
A7 D
I might have known you'd never make a wife
D G
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
A7 D
And went back to the wild side of life
