A
I'm not one to
Bm7
look behind, I
D
know that
D/E
times must
A
change
But
A
over there in
Bm7
Barrytown they
D
do things
D/E
pretty
A
strange
And
F#m7
though you're not my
C#m
enemy
I
D
like things
C#m
like they
Bm7
used to
E
be
And
A
though you'd like some
Bm7
company
I'm
D
standing
C#m
by my
Bm7
self
Go
D
play with
C#m
someone
Bm7
else
I can
Bm7/F#
see by
A/E
what you
D
carry
C#m
that you
Bm7
come from
E
Barry
A
town
Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
I just read the daily news and swear by every word
And don't think that I'm out of line
For speaking out for what is mine
I'd like to see you do just fine
But look at what you wear
And the way you cut your hair
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
Bridge:
F
In the be
Am7
ginning we recall that the
Bbmaj7
world was hurled
F
Barrytown
Am7
people got to be from a
Bbmaj7
nother world
A
Lift me or I'll be just like the others you will meet
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street
And don't you scream or make a shout
There's nothing you can do about
It was there when you came out
It's a special lack of grace
I can see it in your face
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
