Verse 1
C 
D 
G 
Will You Be There In
The Courtyard,
C 
Barbara Joy
D 
Will Your Honor Be Avenged
G 
With Justice Done
When they cover my head
C 
over Barbara Joy
D 
Will you hide your face in shame
G 
for what you've done?
You were always wild and reckless,
C 
Barbara dear
D 
But I worshipped you,
G 
my love was like a fire
And your wedding was the high spot
C 
of the social year
D 
But your marriage left so
G 
much to be desired
C 
Say that you weren't willing,
D 
Barbara Jo
The face you're saving
G 
gives away your sin
C 
All your husband's money
D 
can't restore his pride
Say that you were willing,
G 
C 
D 
G 
don't let me die
When the phone rang
C 
in the middle of the night
D 
Your tender voice was
G 
shaking with alarm
So without a thought I
C 
hurried to your side
D 
Only thinking to protect
G 
you from all harm
You threw your arms around me,
C 
it was like a dream
D 
And what we knew was bound to happen,
G 
dear
And the doorway framed
your husband and I
C 
I heard you scream I'm un
D 
less you speak
G 
Tomorrow I'll be dead
C 
So say that you were willing
D 
Barbara Joy
The face you're saving
G 
Gives away your sin
C 
All your husband's money
D 
Can't restore his pride
Say that you were willing
G 
Don't let me die
D 
Say that you were willing
G 
Don't let me die
