INTRO: One Strum on the “G”

VERSE ONE

G G7 C

Last night all alone in a Bar Room.

G D

Met a girl with a drink in her hand.

G G7 C

She had ruby red lips, and coal black hair,

G D G

and eyes that would tempt any man.

VERSE TWO

G G7 C

Then she came and sat down at my table,

G D

and as she placed her soft hands in mine.

G G7 C

I found myself wanting to kiss her.

G D G

For temptation was flowing like wine.

CHORUS

G G G7 C G D D7

And I was al-most per-suaded to strip myself of my pride.

G G7 C G D G (walk down to E) E

Al-most per-suaded to push my conscience a-side.

VERSE THREE ( KEY CHANGE TO “A” )

E A A7 D

Then we danced and she whispered I need you.

A E

Take me a-way from here and be my man.

A A7 D

Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it.

A E A

The re-flection of my wedding band.

CHORUS

A A7 D A E E7

And I was al-most per-suaded to let strange lips lead me on

A A7 D A E D A

Al-most per-suaded but your sweet love... made me stop and go home
