[Verse 1]
G G7 C
Last night all alone in a Bar Room.
G D
Met a girl with a drink in her hand.
G G7 C
She had ruby red lips, and coal black hair,
G D G
and eyes that would tempt any man.
[Verse 2]
G G7 C
Then she came and sat down at my table,
G D
and as she placed her soft hands in mine.
G G7 C
I found myself wanting to kiss her.
G D G
For temptation was flowing like wine.
[Chorus]
G G G7 C G D D7
And I was al-most per-suaded to strip myself of my pride.
G G7 C G D G (walk down to E) E
Al-most per-suaded to push my conscience a-side.
[Verse 3]
E A A7 D
Then we danced and she whispered I need you.
A E
Take me a-way from here and be my man.
A A7 D
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it.
A E A
The re-flection of my wedding band.
[Chorus]
A A7 D A E E7
And I was al-most per-suaded to let strange lips lead me on
A A7 D A E D A
Al-most per-suaded but your sweet love... made me stop and go home
