Almost Persuaded Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Las[D]t night [G]all alone in a b[C]arroom
Met a [G]girl with a drink in her [D]hand.
She had [G]ruby red lips, [C]coal black hair
An[G]d eyes that would [D]tempt any [G]man.
Then she came and sat down at [C]my 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 [G]wine.

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

[Verse 3]
The re[A]flection of [E]my wedding [A]band.
And I was almost 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 [D]night all alone in a barroom
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 was flowing like wine.

[Verse 5]
And I was [E]almost persuaded to strip myself
of my pride.
Almost persuaded
to push my conscience aside.
Then [A]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 [E]me stop and [D]go [Bm]home.
