Almost persuaded

1. Last night, all alone in a bar room,
G
D - D7
met a
girl with a drink in her hand.
G G7 C
She had ruby red lips, coal
black hair,
G D G - D
and
eyes that would tempt any man.
G G7 C
2. Then she came and sat down at my table,
G D - D7
and
as she placed her soft hand in mine,
G G7 C
I found myself wanting to kiss
her,
G D G - D7
for temptation
was flowing like wine.
G G7 C G D -
D7
And I was almost persuaded, to
strip myself of my pride,
G G7 C G D7 G - E
almost
persuaded, to push my conscience aside.

3. Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you !
A E

Take me away from here and be my man."

Then I looked into her eyes
and I saw it,

the
reflection of my wedding band.

E -
E7
And I was almost persuaded to
let strange lips lead me on,
A A7 D A E7 D - A
almost persuaded, but
your sweet love made me stop and go ho...me.
