[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A              Bm7            D         D/E        A
I'm not one to look behind, I know that times must change
    A             Bm7             D         D/E  A
But over there in Barrytown, they do things very strange
    F#m7                 C#m7
And though you're not my enemy
  D           A/C#      Bm      Esus4 E
I like things like they used to be   -e
    A                      Bm7
And though you'd like some company
    D        A/C#    Bm
I'm standing by   my self
   D         A/C#    Bm
Go play with someone else
 
 
[Chorus]
      F#m    E        D     A/C#     Bm        D/E
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barry
 
|A              |A       Asus4  |A              |A       Asus4 |
 *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
  town
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                 Bm7         D       D/E    A
Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
  A             Bm7            D        D/E   A
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word
    F#m7                 C#m7
And don't think that I'm out of line
    D        A/C#    Bm      Esus4 E
For speaking out for what is mine
    A               Bm7
I'd like to see you do just fine
    D       A/C#     Bm
But look at what you wear
        D       A/C#     Bm
And the way you cut your hair
 
 
[Chorus]
      F#m    E        D     A/C#     Bm        D/E
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barry
 
 |A              |A       Asus4 |
  *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
  town
 
 
[Bridge]
F           Am7                        F/Bb
  In the be ginning we recall that the word was hurled
F           Am7                     F/Bb
  Barrytown people got to be from a nother wo-o-o-o-o
 
 |A              |A       Asus4  |A              |A       Asus4 |

[Verse 3]
A                Bm7              D      D/E      A
Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet
A                 Bm7            D       D/E    A
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street
    F#m7                C#m7
And don't you scream or make a shout
     D       A/C#    Bm   Esus4 E
It's nothing you can do a bout
A                 Bm7
It was there when you came out
       D       A/C#    Bm
It's a special lack of grace
      D      A/C#    Bm
I can see it in your face
 
 
[Outro]
      F#m    E        D     A/C#     Bm        D/E
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barry
 
 |A              |A       Asus4  |A              |A       Asus4 |
  *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

 |A              |A       Asus4  |A              |A       Asus4 |
