[Eb] [Ab] Last night, all alone in [Db] a bar room, met [Ab] a girl with a drink in [Eb] her hand.
She [Ab] had ruby red lips, [Db] cold black hair, [Ab] and eyes that [Eb] would tempt [Ab] any man.
[Eb] [Gm] Then [Ab] she came and sat down [Db] at my table, and [Ab] as she placed her soft [Eb] hands in mine,
[Ab] I found myself [Db] wanting to kiss her, [Ab] for temptation [Eb] was flowing [Ab] like wine.
[Eb] [B] [Eb] And [Ab] I was [Db] almost persuaded to [Ab] strip myself [Eb] of my pride,
[Ab]
[Db] and I was almost persuaded [Ab] to push [Eb] my conscience [Ab]
aside.
[F] [Bb] Then we danced and she [Eb] whispered, I need you.
[Bb] Take me away from here and [F] be my man.
[A] Then [Bb] I looked into her eyes [Eb] and I saw it, [Bb] the reflection [F] of my [Bb] wedding veil.
[F] [Db] [Am] And [Bb] I was [Eb] almost persuaded [Bb] to let strange lips [F] lead me on.
[Bb]
Almost [Eb] persuaded.
But [Bb] your sweet love [F] made me stop and [Eb] go
[Bb] home.
[A] [D] I've been making my home [G] in a bar room, [D] in search of that one certain [A]
man.
For [D] a while last night [G] it was heaven, through [D] that door [A] at last he [D] walked in.
Was all this girl [G] ever wanted?
[Bm] I was [D] sure when his eyes [A] met mine.
So [D] I threw down my pride [G] for that moment, [D] and together [A] we danced [D] and drank wine.
He was almost [G] persuaded [D] to take me to live in [A] his world.
[D]
[G] Almost persuaded.
But [D] I guess [A] I was just [D] another girl.
[B]
I [E] started making up [A] for my future.
[E] So in hopes that I'd found [B]
[E] my world, we danced [A] so sudden.
When [E] I saw [B] that band on [E] his hand, and he was almost [A] persuaded.
[E] Now all my fond hopes [B] are
[E]
[A] here,
[E] already [B] had a sweet love to [A] hold.
[E]
She [Ab] had ruby red lips, [Db] cold black hair, [Ab] and eyes that [Eb] would tempt [Ab] any man.
[Eb] [Gm] Then [Ab] she came and sat down [Db] at my table, and [Ab] as she placed her soft [Eb] hands in mine,
