C5                                        A5 
Please don't ask about Barbara 
E5                                A5                     C5 
Don't ask me if she's found somebody new 
F5                        C5           F5                        C5 
'cause I would try to smile but in a little while 
F5                                         G5                            C5 
My tears would show and then you'd know it's true 
 

C5                                        A5 
Please don't ask about Barbara 
E5                                  A5                    C5 
The hurt will bring the teardrops to my eyes 
F5                          C5        F5                            C5 
Though I would pretend that now she's just a friend 
F5                                      G5                          C5             C5 
You'd look at me and see right through the lies 
 

F5                     A5           F5                         A5 
Tears, tears, go away, come again another day 
C5                     A5                 F5 
How can I hide this pain I feel inside 
                      A5                         G5 
When little teardrops give my heart away? 
 

C5                                A5 
Don't you ever tell Barbara 
E5                                A5                  C5 
I'd rather die than let her know I'm cryin' 
F5                   C5           F5                              C5 
Let her run around until the day she's found 
F5                          C5           F5                                 G5 
She needs me back again but this I ask till then 
C5                                    A5
