Song

Wild Side Of Life

verse:

Bb Eb

Well, you wouldn?t read my letters if I wrote you

F Bb

You ask me not to call you on the phone

Eb

Well, there?s something I?ve been waiting for to tell you

F Bb

So I wrote it in the words of a song

verse:

Now the glamour of the game that life has lured you

To the places where the wine and liquer flow

Well, you went to be some body else?s baby

And forget the truest love you ever know

chorus:

Bb Eb

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels

F Bb

Oh, I might have know you never make a wife

Eb - C

You gave up the only one that ever loved you

F Bb

And went back to that wild side of life

guitar solo: (there are two guitars playing,

but I only write down one line.)
