Almost Persuaded

 
     C         C7         F 
Last night all alone in a barroom  
      C                       G7 
Met a man with a drink in his hand 
       C               F 
He had baby blue eyes, coal black hair  
      C            G7        C      G7 
And a smile that a girl understands 

 
        C        C7             F 
Then he came and sat down at my table  
          C                    G7 
And as he placed his hand over mine 
  C            C7         F 
I found myself wanting to kiss him  
        C          G7           C    G7 
For temptation was flowing like wine 

 
          C  C7      F 
And I was almost persuaded  
   C                  G7 
To strip myself of my pride 
C  C7      F 
Al-most persuaded  
   C       G7          C    A7 
To push my conscience aside 


        D             D7          G 
Then we danced and he whispered I need you 
       D                         A7 
Let me take you away and be your man 
       D               D7         G 
Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it  
    D             A7         D    A7 
The reflection of my wedding band 

 
          D   D7     G 
And I was almost persuaded  
   D                        A7 
To let strange lips lead me on 
D  D7      G 
Almost persuaded  
         D                  A7          D 
But your sweet love made me stop and go home
