Almost Persuaded Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Last[D]
[G]night all alone in a barroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand.
She had ruby [D]red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would [G]tempt any man.
Then she came and sat down at my table,
And as she placed her soft hands in mine,
I found myself wanting
to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine.

[Verse 2]
And I was almost [C]persuaded to
[G]strip myself of my [D]pride.
[G]Almost [C]persuaded to [G]push my [D]con
science aside.
Then we danced and she whispered,
"I need you!"
"Take me away from here
and [G]be my man."
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it:

[Verse 3]
The reflection of my wedding band. And [G]I was almost persuaded
to let strange
lips lead me on.
Almost persuaded but your sweet love
made me stop and go home.

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

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

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