                                            D
Will you be there in the courtyard, Barbara Joy?

          E7                            A
Will your honor be avenged with justice done?

                                      D
When they cover my head over, Barbara Joy

          E7                                     A
Will you hide your face in shame for what you've done?

                                            D
You were always wild and reckless, Barbara dear

      E7                                 A
But I worshipped you, my love was like a fire

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

         E7                            A
But your marriage left so much to be desired
[Chorus]
D                                 E
Say that you are willing, Barbara Joy

     E7                                A
The face you're saving gives away your sin

D                                E
All your husband's money can't restore his pride

E7                              A
Say that you are willing, don't let me die
[Interlude] E7 A [Verse 2]
                                         D
When the phone rang in the middle of the night

     E7                             A
Your tender voice was shaking with alarm

                                        D
So without a thought, I hurried to your side

     E7                               A
Only thinking to protect you from all harm

                                      D
You threw your arms around me, it was like a dream

    E7                               A
And what we knew was bound to happen dead

                                            D
Then the doorway framed your husband, and I heard you scream

      E7                               A
And unless you speak tomorrow, I'll be dead
[Chorus]
D                                 E
Say that you are willing, Barbara Joy

     E7                                A
The face you're saving gives away your sin

D                                E
All your husband's money can't restore his pride

E7                              A
Say that you are willing, don't let me die

         E7                              A
Barbara, say that you are willing, don't let me die
