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]

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.
