Key:
A Bm7 D E7 A I'm not one to look behind, I know that times, must change,
Bm7 D E7 A But over there in Barry Town they do things very strange.
F#m C#m D C#m E And though you're not my enemy, I like things like they used to be;
A Bm7 D C#m Bm7 And though you'd like some company, I'm standing by myself,
D C#m Bm7 Go and play with someone else. [Chorus]
F#m E D C#m Bm7 A I can see by what you carry that you came from Barry Town. [Verse 2]
A Bm7 D E7 A Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard;
Bm7 D E7 A I just read the Daily News and swear by every word.

F#m C#m D C#m E And don't think that I'm out of line for speaking for what is mine;
A Bm7 D C#m Bm7 I like to see you just fine, but looking at what you wear
D C#m Bm7 And the way you cut you hair. [Chorus]
F#m E D C#m Bm7 A I can see by what you carry that you came from Barry Town. [Interlude]
F Am7 Bbmaj9 In the beginning we recall the word was hurled;
F Am7 Bbmaj9 Barry Town people got to be from another world. [Verse 3]
A Bm7 D E7 A Leave me or I'll be just like the others that you meet;
Bm7 D E7 A They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street.
F#m C#m D C#m E And don't you scream or make a shout; it's nothing you can do about;
A Bm7 D C#m Bm7 It was there where you came out, it's a special lack of grace,
D C#m Bm7 I can see it on your face. [Chorus]
F#m E D C#m Bm7 A I can see by what you carry that you came from Barry Town.
F#m E D C#m Bm7 A I can see by what you carry that you came from Barry Town.
F#m E D C#m Bm7 A I can see by what you carry that you came from Barry Town.
