Almost Persuaded Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Last nig[C]ht all alone in a b[F]arroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand.
She had ruby red lips,
coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man.
Then she came and
sat down at [C]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 [G]persuaded to strip myself
of my pride.
Almost persuaded
to push my conscience aside.
Then we danced and she
whispered, "I need you!"
"Take me away from
here and be my man."
Then I looked into her eyes and I

[Verse 3]
saw it:
[C]The reflection of my wedding band.
And 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 night all [F]alone in a barroom
Met a guy with a drink in his hand.
He had bay blue eyes, coal black hair
An[C]d a smile that a [G]girl
[C]understand[Am]s.
[C]Then he came and sat down [F]at my table,
And as [C]he placed his hands [G]over mine,
I [C]found my self wanting [F]to kiss him
For [C]temptation was [G]flowing like [C]wine.
[Am]And [C]I was

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

[Verse 6]
The re[D]flection of [A]my wedding [D]band.
[Bm]And [D]I was almost persu[G]aded to
[D]let strange lips lead [A]me on.
[D]Almost [G]persuaded but your [D]sweet
love made me [A]stop and go [D]home.
[G]
