[Verse 1]

E                         A
Last night all alone in a barroom,
A       E                         B7
I met a girl with an drink in her hand.
B7      E              A
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
A   E               B7        E    B7
and eyes that would tempt any man.

[Verse 2]

         E                       A
Then she came and sat down at my table
        E                        B7
and she placed her soft hands in mine.
B7      E                      A
Well I found myself wanting to kiss her
    E              B7           E     B7
for temptation was flowing like wine.

[Chorus]

          E          A        E                  B7
And I was Almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
E          A          E       B7         E
Almost persuaded , To push my conscience aside.

[Verse 3]

        E                         A
Then we danced and she whispered, “I need you!
A       E                        B7
Take me home from here and be my man!”
B7     E                          A
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it,
    E             B7         E     B7
the reflection of my wedding band.

[Chorus]

          E          A        E                  B7
And I was Almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride.
E          A          E       B7         E
Almost persuaded , To push my conscience aside.
