[Bm] Barbara, Barbara, [G] Barbara, [A] Barbara
[G] [D] If Barbara were [Bm] an angel, I pray she'd watch [A] over me
[D] If Barbara [Bm]
were a queen, [G] her servant I would be
[D] If Barbara were [Bm]
[G] and were my [A] husband, [D] then I'd climb the high [Bm]
mountain
[G] Do [A] just [D] anything
[Bm]
[G] [A] [D] If Barbara were [Bm] a load of dirt and chill, [G] I'd stand out [A] in the cold
[D] If Barbara were [Bm] a tree, [G] her branches I would hold
[D] If Barbara [Bm] were me, [G] and said that she'd [A] be mine
[D] I'd swim the deepest [Bm]
ocean, [G] stop [D] the hands [A] of time
[D]
[G] Barbara, please say that you're in love enough with [D] me
Don't let me lead this life, this life of misery
Let me kiss your tender lips and know your secret charms
[A] And let me know [F#m] what real love is, and hold you [A] in my arms
[D] And if this love [Bm] I pray for [G] should at all [B] come true
[D] Then with [Bm] all my heart, dear, [G] I'd love no one [F#] but you
[D] I'll hold you in [Bm] my arms [G] for now and [A] evermore
[D] And we will walk [Em] together through love's [E] sacred [D] door
[Bm] Barbara, [G]
Barbara, my [A] love
[D]
Barbara, [Bm] [G]
Barbara, [A] my [D] love
