A               Bm7                  D        E7           A ....
1.      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. 
 
 
A                Bm7                  D         E7   A
2.      Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard; 
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 
 
Interlude 
F             Am7               Bmaj9           F             Am7
In the beginning we recall the word was hurled; Barry Town people got to be from  
Bmaj9
another world. 
 
      A               Bm7                     D        E7    A
          3.    Leave me or I'll be just like the others that you meet;  
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 & repeat 3 x
