^AbLast night, all alone, in a ^Dbbarroom.. met a ^Abgirl with a drink in her ^Ebhand. She had ^Abruby red lips, ^Dbcoal black hair, and ^Abeyes that would ^Ebtempt any ^Abman.^Eb

#2.

Then she ^Abcame and sat down at my ^Dbtable. And as she ^Abplaced her soft ^Ebhands ^Fmin ^Ebmine. I ^Abfound myself wanting to ^Dbkiss her.. for temp^Abtation was ^Ebflowing like ^Abwine.

CHORUS:

^AbAnd I was almost ^Dbpersuaded..to ^Abstrip myself of my ^Ebpride. ^AbAlmost ^Gbper^Dbsuaded..to ^Abpush my ^Ebconscience ^Abaside.

#3.

^FThen we ^Bbdanced and she whispered I ^Ebneed you.. take me ^Bbaway from here and be my ^Fman. Then I've ^Bblooked into her eyes and I ^Ebsaw it.. the re^Bbflection of ^Fmy wedding ^Bbband.

OUTRO:

^BbAnd I was almost per^Ebsuaded..to ^Bblet strange lips lead me ^Fon. ^BbAlmost per^Ebsuaded..but your ^Bbsweet love made me ^Fstop and go ^Bbhome.^Eb ^Bb

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
