[Verse]
Eb7 Ab             Ab7        Db     
■   Last night all alone in a barroom
      Ab                       Eb7 
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
        Ab   Ab7      Db             
She had ruby red lips coal black hair
Ab                  Eb7       Ab  Eb7
And eyes that would tempt any man ■  
         Ab                   Db      
Then she came and sat down at my table
         Ab                        Eb7    
And then she placed her soft hands in mine
  Ab    Ab7            Db         
I found myself wanting to kiss her
Ab                 Eb7     Ab       
For temptation was flowing like wine


[Chorus]
          Ab7    Db           Ab              Eb7     
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Ab     Ab7 Db           Ab      Eb7        Ab    F
Almost ■   persuaded to push my conscience aside ■
        Bb         Bb7           Eb        
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
        Bb                    F7    
Take me away from here and be my man
     Bb                Bb7      Eb      
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
Bb                F7 Bb           F7
The reflection of my wedding band ■ 
      Bb  Bb7    Eb           Bb                    F7   
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Bb     Bb7 Eb                 Bb              F7             Eb   Bb
Almost ■   persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home ■
