Bobby Bare – Barbara Joy (Guitar)

         G                                 C
Will you be there in the courtyard Barbara Joy

          D7                            G
Will your honor be avenged with justice done

                                     C
When they cover my head over Barbara Joy

         D7                                   G
Will you hide your face in shame for what you done

                                          C
You were always wild and reckless Barbara dear

      D7                                G
But I worshipped you my love was like a fire

                                          C
And your wedding was the high spot of the social year

         D7                            G
But your marriage left so much to be desired

C                                 D7
Say that you were willing Barbara Joy

                                       G
The face you're saving gives away your sin

C                                D7
All your husband's money can't restore what’s right

                                G
Say that you were willing don't let me die

         G                               C
When the phone rang in the middle of the night

     D7                             G
Your tender voice was shaking with alarm

                                       C
So without a thought I hurried to your side

     D7                               G
Only thinking to protect you from all harm

                                     C
You threw your arms around me it was like a dream

    D7                               G
And what we knew was bound to happen dear

                                          C
And the doorway framed your husband and I heard you scream

    D7                                G
And unless you speak tomorrow I'll be dead

   C                                 D7
So say that you were willing Barbara Joy

                                       G
The face you're saving gives away your sin

C                                D7
All your husband's money can't restore what’s right

                                G
Say that you were willing don't let me die

D7                              G
Say that you were willing don't let me die
