Verse 1:

C C7 F Last night all alone in a barroom C G7 Met a man with a drink in his hand C F He had baby blue eyes, coal black hair C G7 C G7 And a smile that a girl understands

Verse 2:

C C7 F Then he came and sat down at my table C G7 And as he placed his hand over mine C C7 F I found myself wanting to kiss him C G7 C G7 For temptation was flowing like wine
C C7 F And I was almost persuaded C G7 To strip myself of my pride C C7 F Al-most persuaded C G7 C A7 To push my conscience aside

Verse 3:

D D7 G Then we danced and he whispered I need you D A7 Let me take you away and be your man D D7 G Then I looked into his eyes and I saw it D A7 D A7 The reflection of my wedding band
D D7 G And I was almost persuaded D A7 To let strange lips lead me on D D7 G Almost persuaded D A7 D But your sweet love made me stop and go home
