Ben Colder - Almost Persuaded #2 guitar chord

Ben Colder: Almost Persuaded #2

Resubmitted by GMWNS

Note 1: This song is a parody of 'Almost Persuaded' which was done by David

Houston, and others.

Note 2: Ben Colder was really Shep Wooley (who did 'Purple People Eater' in

the late 50s).

(G) Last night I stumbled (G7) in to a (C) bar room, hic!

I met a (G) girl with a pint in her (D) purse (D7)

She was (G) cute as (G7) two speckled (C) puppies

And I said, (G) Ben, (D) you could do (G) worse.

Then I walked across the (G7) room full of (C) tables (I walked across

her table too)

And I (G) plopped myself down in a (D) chair (I said, Hi (D7) there.)

She (G) whispered, (G7) My name is (C) Mable.

And (G) all I could (D) say was, Hi (G) there.

I said, Permit me to introduce myself, Ben Colder here.

She said, It ain't been no colder here than anyplace else.

I had her al-(G7)-most per-(C)-suaded

(What happened to the Diddle diddle do there? (piano plays) Thank you.)

To (G) slip, strip herself of her (D) pride (D7)

(G) Al-(G7)-most per-(C)-suaded, to (G) slip me a (D) drink

on the (G) side (E)

Well then we (A) danced and we (A7) danced and we (D) danced

and we danced

That is I (A) thought I was dancin' till somebody stepped on my (E) hand (E7)

Then I (A) looked in her (A7) eyes and I (D) saw it

The re-(A)-flection of (E) my wedding (A) band

(And I thought, That sure is strange. I ain't even married. What it was is

my wristwatch.)

I had her al-(A7)-most per-(D)-suaded

((piano plays) Once more there, Hargis. (piano plays))

To (A) come and be my (E) own (E7)

(Piano plays comical notes. Smart alec.)

(A) Al-(A7)-most per-(D)-suaded (Boy.)

Then her (A) boyfriend came and (E) made me go (D) home (A)
