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.   

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.  

          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
