Wild Side of Life

by Hank Thompson

C                                F

You wouldn't read my letter if I wrote you

    G7                              C

You asked me not to call you on the phone

But there's something I'm wanting to tell you

     G7                            C

So I wrote it in the words of this song

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels

  G7                                   C

I should have known you'd never make a wife

You gave up the only one that ever loved you

         G7                       C

And went back to the wild side of life

The glamour of the gay night life has lured you

       G7                               C

To the places where the wine and liquor flows

There you wait to be anybody's baby

       G7                            C

And forget the only love you'll ever know

I didn't know God made honky tonk angels

  G7                                   C

I should have known you'd never make a wife

You gave up the only one that ever loved you

         G7                       C

And went back to the wild side of life

Do you remember when Hank recorded this song? Then Kitty Wells recorded an answer to it with "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" for another monster hit. These are still great country songs that's fun to do, most middle age folks will definitely remember these old tunes and would love to hear you sing them. The Wild Side of Life lyrics and chords are ready for you to enjoy.
