Barbara Joy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Will [D]you [G]be there in the courtyard,
[C]Barbara Joy?
Will your [D]honor be avenged
with justice [G]done?
When they cover my head over,
Barbara [C]Joy,
Will you [D]hide your face in shame
for what you've [G]done?
You were always wild and reckless,
Barbara [C]dear
But I wor[D]shipped you,
my love was like a [G]fire
And your wedding was the high spot
of the so[C]cial year
But your mar[D]riage left so
much to be de[G]sired
Say [C]that you were willing, Barbara [D]Joy
The face you're saving
gives away your [G]sin
[C]All your husband's money
can't re[D]store his pride
Say that you were willing,
don't [G]let me [D]die[G]
When the phone rang
in the middle of the [C]night
Your [D]tender voice was
shaking with [G]alarm
So without a thought I
hurried to your [C]side
Only think[D]ing to protect you from all [G]harm
You threw your arms around me,
it was [C]like a dream
And [D]what we knew was
bound to happen [G]did
Then the doorway framed your husband
and I [C]heard you scream
And [D]unless you speak,
tomorrow I'll be [G]dead
[C]Say that you owe the name
Barbara [D]Joy
The face you're saving
gives away your [G]sin
[C]All your husband's money
can't re[D]store his pride
Say that you were willing,
don't [G]let me die
Barbara, [D]say that you were willing,
don't [G]let me die
