[Intro 1]
[D][E][G]
[D]

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

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

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

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

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

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