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.
