ALMOST PERSUADED
Recorded by Tammy Wynette
Words and music by Billy Sherrill and Glenn Sutton

Last [C] night, all a-[C7] lone in a bar-[F] room
Met a [C] man with a drink in his [G] hand
He had [C7] baby-blue eyes, [F] coal black hair
And a [C] smile that a girl [G] under-[C] stands. ... [G]

Then he [C] came and sat [C7] down at my [F] table
And as he [C] placed his hand over [G] mine
I [C] found myself [C7] wanting to [F] kiss him
For temp-[C] tation was [G] flowing like [C] wine. [G7]

And I was [C] al-[C7] per-[F] suaded
To [C] strip myself of my [G7] pride
[C] Al-[C7] most per-[F] suaded
To [C] push my [G7] conscience a-[C] side. ... [A7]

CHANGE TO D:
Then we [D] danced and he [D7] whispered, "I [G] need you!
Let me [D] take you away, and be your [A] man."
Then I [D] looked into his [D7] eyes and I [G] saw it
The re-[D] flection of [A7] my wedding [D] band. [A7]

And I was [D] al-[D7] most per-[G] suaded
To [D] let strange lips lead me [A] on
[D] al-[D7] most per-[G] suaded,
But your [D] sweet love made me [A7] stop and go [G] home. [D]
