Waylon Jennings

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