[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
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
