[INTRO: ]E C#m E C#m  
  
E                                      
Please don't ask about Barbara  
C#m                              G#m                      
Don't ask me if she's found somebody new  
A                                                Am            
'cause I would try to smile but in a little while  
B                                                                            E 
My tears would show and then you'd know it's true  
  
E                                         
Please don't ask about Barbara  
C#m                              G#m                     
The hurt will bring the teardrops to my eyes  
A                                              Am                          
Though I would pretend that now she's just a friend  
B                                                                     E           E7  
You'd look at me and see right through the lies  
  
A          G#m        F#m    E                  C#m 
Tears, tears, go away, come again another day  
A                               B        E 
How can I hide this pain I feel inside  
            B                          
When little teardrops give my heart away?  
  
E                                 
Don't you ever tell Barbara  
C#m                      G#m  
I'd rather die than let her know I'm cryin'  
A                              Am                            
Let her run around until the day she's found  
B                           
She needs me back again but this I ask till then  
E                                     
"Please don't ask about Barbara"
