A                             D
Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
    E                               A    E
You asked me not to call you on the phone,
            A                                  D
but there's something I've been wanting you to tell you
     E                             A    E
so I wrote it in the words of this song

Chorus:

         A                        D
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
E                                     A   E
I might have known you'd never make a wife,
         A           A7            D        Bm
you gave up the only one that ever loved you
         E           E7           A   E
and went back to the wild side of life...

Verse:

   A                         D
Tu sabes que te quiero, vida mia
  E                         A   E
y sabes que yo sufro por tu amor
     A                            D
pero tu sigues viviendo en las cantinas
  E                       A     E
y yo me estoy muriendo de dolor.

Chorus

         A                        D
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
E                                     A   E
I might have known you'd never make a wife,
         A           A7            D        Bm
you gave up the only one that ever loved you
         E           E7           A   E
and went back to the wild side of life...
