Almost Persuaded

Recorded by Tammy Wynette Words and music by Billy Sherrill and Glenn Sutton C C7 F Last night, all a- lone in a bar- room C G Met a man with a drink in his hand C7 F He had baby-blue eyes, coal black hair C G C G And a smile that a girl under- stands. ... C C7 F Then he came and sat down at my table C G And as he placed his hand over mine C C7 F I found myself wanting to kiss him C G C G7 For temp- tation was flowing like wine. C C7 F And I was al- per- suaded C G7 To strip myself of my pride C C7 F Al- most per- suaded C G7 C A7 To push my conscience a- side. ... CHANGE TO D: D D7 G Then we danced and he whispered, "I need you! D A 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 re- flection of my wedding band. D D7 G And I was al- most per- suaded D A To let strange lips lead me on D D7 G al- most per- suaded, D A7 G D But your sweet love made me stop and go home.
