#1. 
D                  Bm       G 
If Barbara were an angel, I pray she'd watch  
     A 
over me..(whoa, whoa, whoa.)

If Barbara were a queen, her servant I would be.

If Barbara would be mine and wear my high school  
A 
ring..(whoa.) 
         D                 Bm        G 
Then I'd climb the highest mountain, do just  
A  D       D               Bm          
anything..(Di-dit-dit-dit..di-dit-dit-dit..

in the cold..(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.)

(Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.) 
    D                Bm     G        A        D    
I'd swim the deepest ocean, stop the hands of time. 

Bridge:

Barbara, please say (that you're the one in love

Don't let me lead (this life, this life of misery.)

Then with all my heart, dear, I'd love no one but you. 
(whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.)

I'll hold you in my arms, for now and ever more..(whoa.)

And we will walk together through love's sac-red door.
