[Cm] [Bbm] [Fm] [Eb]
[Ab] Last night all alone [Db] in a barroom [Ab] met a girl with a dream in [Eb] her hand.
[Ab] She had ruby red [Db] lips, coal black hair, [Ab] and eyes that [Eb] would tempt [Ab] any [Eb] man.
[G] Then [Ab] she came and sat down at [Db] my table, [Ab] and as she placed her soft [Eb] hands in mine,
I [Ab] found myself wanting [Db] to kiss her, [Ab] for temptation [Eb] was flowing [Ab] like wine.
[F] And [Eb] [Ab] I was almost [Db] persuaded to [Ab] strip myself of [Eb] my pride,
[Ab]
almost [Db] persuaded to [Ab] push my [Eb] conscience [Ab] aside.
[Gb]
[F] Then [Bb] we danced and she whispered, [Eb] I need you, take me [Bb] away from here and be [F] my man.
Then [Bb] I looked into her eyes and [Eb] I saw in the [Bb] reflection [F] of my wedding [Bb] band.
[C] And [A] I [Bb] was almost [Eb] persuaded to [Bb] let strange lips lead [F] me on,
[Bb] almost
[Eb] persuaded.

[Eb] Yeah, [Bb] your sweet love [F] made me stop and [Eb] go on.
