Intro: C Am C Am 
 
C                                        Am 
Please don't ask about Barbara 
Em                                Am                     C 
Don't ask me if she's found somebody new 
F                        C           F                        C 
'cause I would try to smile but in a little while 
F                                         G                            C 
My tears would show and then you'd know it's true 
 

C                                        Am 
Please don't ask about Barbara 
Em                                  Am                    C 
The hurt will bring the teardrops to my eyes 
F                          C        F                            C 
Though I would pretend that now she's just a friend 
F                                      G                          C             C7 
You'd look at me and see right through the lies 
 

F                     Am           F                         Am 
Tears, tears, go away, come again another day 
C                     Am                 F 
How can I hide this pain I feel inside 
                      Am                         G 
When little teardrops give my heart away? 
 

C                                Am 
Don't you ever tell Barbara 
Em                                Am                  C 
I'd rather die than let her know I'm cryin' 
F                   C           F                              C 
Let her run around until the day she's found 
F                          C           F                                 G 
She needs me back again but this I ask till then 
C                                    Am
