 D  | A7  | D  |   :

♫ Verse 1:
D                          G
Last night all alone in a barroom,
G        D                          A7
I met a girl with an drink in her hand.
A7       D               G
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
G    D                A7         D     A7
and eyes that would tempt any man.

♫ Verse 2:
         D                        G
Then she came and sat down at my table
        D                         A7
and she placed her soft hands in mine.
A7       D                       G
Well I found myself wanting to kiss her
    D               A7            D      A7
for temptation was flowing like wine.

♫ Chorus:
          D           G         D                   A7
And I was Almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
D           G           D        A7          D
Almost persuaded , To push my conscience aside.

♫ Verse 3:
        A                          D
Then we danced and he whispered, “I need you!
D                   A                            E7
Let me take you away from here and I'll be your man!"
E7     A                           D
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it,
    A              E7         A      E7
the reflection of my wedding band.

♫ Chorus:
          A           D         A                   E7
And I was Almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me home.
A               D                      A        E7         A
Almost persuaded , but your sweet love made me stop and go home

Almost persuaded , but your sweet love made me stop and go home
