    Verse 1
    Last 
    night 

    all 
    alone 
    in a 
    barroom 

    Met 
    girl 
    with a drink 
    in her 
    hand. 

    She 
    had 
    ruby red 
    lips, 
    coal 
    black 
    hair 

    And eyes that 
    would tempt 

    any 
    man. 

    Then she came 
    and 
    sat down 
    at 
    my 
    table, 

    And 
    as she placed 
    her 

    soft 
    hands 
    in mine, 

    found 
    myself 
    wanting 

    to 
    kiss 
    her 

    For temptation 
    was flowing 
    like 
    wine. 

    Verse 2
    And 
    was 
    almost 
    per
    suaded 

    to strip 
    myself 
    of my 
    pride. 

    Al
    most 
    persuaded 
    to 
    push 
    my 

    conscience 
    aside. 


    Then we 
    danced 
    and 
    she whispered, 

    "I 
    need 
    you!" 

    "Take 
    me away 
    from 

    here and be 
    my man." 

    Then 
    I looked 
    into 
    her eyes 

    and I 
    saw 
    it: 

    Verse 3
    The reflec
    tion 
    of 
    my 
    wedding 
    band. 

    And 
    I was almost 
    persuaded to 

    let strange lips 
    lead me 
    on. 

    Almost 
    persuaded but your 
    sweet love 

    made me stop 
    and go home. 

    Verse 4
    Last 
    night 
    all 
    alone 
    in a 
    barroom 

    Met a 
    guy with a drink 
    in his hand. 

    He 
    had 
    bay blue eyes, coal 
    black hair 

    And 
    a smile that a 
    girl understands. 


    Then he came and sat 
    down at my 
    table, 


    And as he 
    placed 
    his 
    hands over 
    mine, 

    I found my 
    self 
    wanting to kiss 

    him 

    For temptation 
    was flowing 

    like wine. 

    Verse 5
    And I was almost 
    persuaded 
    to strip 
    myself 
    of my pride. 


    Almost persuaded 
    to push 

    my conscience aside. 

    Then we danced 
    and he whispered, "I 

    need you!" 

    "Let me take you 
    away and 

    be your 
    man." 

    Then 
    I looked into 

    his eyes and I saw it: 

    Verse 6
    The reflection 
    of my 
    wedding 
    band. 

    And 
    I was almost 
    persuaded 

    to let strange lips 
    lead me on. 

    Almost 
    persuaded 
    but 
    your 
    sweet 

    love 
    made 
    me stop 
    and go 
    home.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
