[Verse 1]
B7 E A E
Last night all alone in a barroom, I met a girl with an drink in her

hand. She had ruby red lips, coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man.
[Verse 2]

Then she came and sat down at my table and she placed her soft hands in
B7 E A E B7 E
mine. Well I found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowin like wine.
[Chorus]
B7 E A E B7 E A
And I was Almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride. Almost persuaded

to push my conscience aside.
[Verse 3]

Then we danced and she whispered, “I need you! Take me home from here
C#7 F# B F#
and be my man!” Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it, the reflection of

my wedding band.
[Chorus 2]
C#7 F# B F# C#7 F#
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride. Almost
B F# C#7 B F#
persuaded, But your sweet love made me stop and go h-o-m-e.
