Subject: Wild Side of Life (Honky Tonk Angel) by Freddie Fender
THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE
Freddie Fender
A D
You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them
E7 A
You asked me not to call you on the phone
A D
But there's something I've been wanting to tell you
E7 A
So I wrote it in the words of this song
Chorus:
A D
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
E7 A
I might have known you'd never make a wife
A D
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
E7 A
And went back to the wild side of life
(instrumental verse)
(next verse in Spanish if you know it)
A D
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
E7 A
to the places where the wine and liquor flow
A D
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
E7 A
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
(chorus)
