| E | B7 | E | | [Verse 1] E A Last night all alone in a barroom, A E B7 I met a girl with an drink in her hand. B7 E A She had ruby red lips, coal black hair A E B7 E B7 and eyes that would tempt any man. [Verse 2] E A Then she came and sat down at my table E B7 and she placed her soft hands in mine. B7 E A Well I found myself wanting to kiss her E B7 E B7 for temptation was flowing like wine. [Chorus] E A E B7 And I was Almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride. E A E B7 E Almost persuaded , To push my conscience aside. [Verse 3] E A Then we danced and she whispered, “I need you! A E B7 Take me home from here and be my man!” B7 E A Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it, E B7 E B7 the reflection of my wedding band. [Chorus] E A E B7 And I was Almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride. E A E B7 E Almost persuaded , To push my conscience aside.
