Almost Persuaded Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Last nig[G]ht all alone in a bar[C]room
Met a [G]girl with a drink in [Em]her h[D]and.
She had [G]ruby red lips, [C]coal black hair
[G]An d eyes that would [D]tempt
any [G]man.[D][Em]
[F#dim]Then she came and [G]sat
down at my [C]table,
And as she [G]placed her soft hands in [D]mine,
I [G]found myself wanting to [C]kiss her
For [G]temptation was [D]flowing like wine.
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]And I wa[D]s almost[G] persuaded[C] to
[G]strip myself of [Em]my p[D]ride.
[G]Almost per[C]suaded to [G]push my
[D]conscience [G]aside.[E]
Then we [A]danced and she whispered,
"I [D]need you!"
"Take me [A]away from here
and be my [E]man."
Then I [A]looked into her eyes and I [D]saw it:

[Verse 3]
The re[A]flection of [E]my wedding [A]band.
And [E]I was a[A]lmost persuaded to let
strange lips lead me on.
Almost per[D]suaded but your sweet love made
me stop and go home.

[Verse 4]
Last night all alone in a barroom [D]Met
a guy with a drink in his hand.
He had bay blue eyes, coal black hair
And a smile [A]that a girl understands.
Then he came and sat down at my table,
And as he placed his hands over mine,
I found my self wanting
to kiss him
For temptation [E]was flowing
like wine.

[Verse 5]
And I was almost persuaded [E]to strip
myself of my pride.
Almost persuaded to push my
conscience [A]aside.
Then we danced and he
whispered, "I need you!"
"Let me take you away and
be your man."
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it:

[Verse 6]
The reflection of my wedding band. And I was almost [D]per
suaded to let strange
lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your [A]sweet
love made me [E]stop and go [D]home.
