Etta James – Almost Persuaded (Guitar)

D                   D7        G     D                                   A7
   Last night all alone at a party,    I met a man with a drink in his hand

        D               G                     D                     A7               D    A7
He had soft brown eyes,   and coal black hair   and a smile that a girl could understand

         D            D7         G     D                               A7
Then he came and sat down at my table     and placed his warm hand on mine

       D            D7                   G                D           A7          D    A7
And I found myself wanting, longing, to kiss him for temptation was flowing like wine

          D      D7          G     D                        A7
And I was almost, Almost Persuaded   to strip myself of my pride

   D  D7      G     D                         A7                   D    B7
Oh Almost Persuaded   to push my, to push my conscience right on aside

         E               E7                          A           E                                   B7
Then we danced, then we danced and he whispered babe I need you,   let me take you away and be your man

E                       E7         A                                    E         B7              E    B7
  Then I looked in his eyes and I saw it, yeah I saw it – I saw the reflection of my, my wedding band

          E       E7                 A     E                                               B7
And I was almost, almost, Almost Persuaded   to let strange lips, somebody's lips, lure me on

E  E7      A                 E                 B7                        E     A E B7 E7
Almost Persuaded, but your sweet love made me stop, made me stop and go home
