Almost Persuaded Cifras

[Verse 1]
 
D7         G                    C
    Last night all alone in a barroom
       G                        D7
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
         G              C
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
     G              D7         G
And eyes that would tempt any man.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
          G                       C
Then she came and sat down at my table
             G                       D7
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
   G                       C
I found myself wanting to kiss her
     G              D7           G
For temptation was flowing like wine.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
    G              C          G                  D7
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
G           C        G        D7        G    E7
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
          A                           D
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you,
        A                        E7
Take me away from here and be my man. "
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
       A                        D
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
    A             E7         A    E7
The reflection of my wedding band
          A          D         A                     E7
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
A          D               A               E7            D    A
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home.
