	        INTRO: One Strum on the ?G? 
 
 
VERSE ONE 
 
G               G7        C 
Last night all alone in a Bar Room.  
      G                        D 
Met a girl with a drink in her hand.   
         G        G7        C     
She  had ruby red lips, and coal black hair,  
    G                D        G 
and eyes that would tempt any man.   
 
  
VERSE TWO 
 
G                 G7              C            
Then she came and sat down at my table,  
           G                        D 
and as she placed her soft hands in mine.   
   G            G7        C 
I found myself wanting to kiss her.  
     G              D           G 
For temptation was flowing like wine.
