Verse 1
         A                                  D
Will you be there in the courtyard, Barbara Joy?
          E7                            A
Will your honor be avenged with justice done?
          A                           D
When they cover my head over, Barbara Joy
          E7                                     A
Will you hide your face in shame for what you've done?
         A                                  D
You were always wild and reckless, Barbara dear
      E7                                 A
But I worshipped you, my love was like a fire
         A                                D
And your wedding was the high spot of the social year
         E7                            A     A7
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

Verse 2
         A                               D
When the phone rang in the middle of the night
     E7                             A
Your tender voice was shaking with alarm
       A                                D
So without a thought, I hurried to your side
     E7                               A
Only thinking to protect you from all harm
    A                                 D
You threw your arms around me, it was like a dream
    E7                               A
And what we knew was bound to happen did
         A                                  D
Then the doorway framed your husband, and I heard you scream
      E7                               A    A7
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
