[D] [G] Last night all alone [C] in a far room, [G] met a girl with a drink in [D] her hand.
[Am] She [D] [G] had ruby red lips [C] and cold black hair, [G] and eyes that [D] would tempt [G] any man.
[E] [D] Then [G] she came and sat down [C] at my table, [G] and she placed her salt pans [D] in mine.
[F#] I [G]
found myself wanting [C] to kiss her, for [G] temptation [D] was flowing [G] like wine.
[F#] And [G] I was almost [C]
persuaded [G] to strip myself of [D] my pride.
[Am] [D] [G]
[C]
Almost persuaded [G] to push my [D] conscience [G]
aside.
[E] [A] Then we danced and she whispered, [D] I need you, [A] take me away.
I need you to come from here and be [E] my man.
Then [A] I looked into her eyes [D] and I saw it, the [A] reflection [E] of my [A] wedding band.
And [G#] I [A] was almost [D] persuaded to [A] let strange lips [E] lead me on.
[G#] [A]
[D]
Almost persuaded.
But [A] your sweet love made [E] me stop and [D] go [F#] home.
