THE WILD SIDE OF LIFE
By W. Warren & A.A. Carter
Key:F

9     9    9    8  -8
You would-n't read my 
7    7  8 -8  7    -6
let-ter if I wrote you
-10  -10  9  -9  -8  -7   6  7  -8    8
You asked me not to call you on the phone.
8    -9      9     8 
But there's some-thing 
-8   7    8  -8  7   -6
I'm want-ing to tell you
-10-10 9    9 -9 -8  -76   8   -8   7
So I wrote it in the words of this song.


(chorus)
9   9  9    9   8   -8
I did-n't know God made 
7    8  -8  7   -6
honk-y tonk an-gels
-10 -10   9    -9
I should have known 
-8    -7  6   7   -8 8
you'd nev-er make a wife
8    9   9   9  8  -8  7
You gave up the on-ly one
7    8  -8   7    -6
that ev-er loved you
-10  9     9  -9  -8  6     8  -8  7
And went back to the wild side of life.


The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flows.
There you wait to be anybody's baby
And forget the only love you'll ever know.
