Intro 
A D/AD/AEm/AA D/AG/AAD/AG/AA
                     x2
Verse 1
A              Bm            D         E          A
I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change
A                 Bm             D         E    A
But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange
F#m                      C#m
And though you're not my enemy
  D           C#m       Bm      E
I like things like they used to be
    A                      Bm
And though you'd like some company
    D        C#m     Bm
I'm standing by myself
   D         C#m      Bm
Go play with someone else
      F#m    E        D     C#m      Bm        E      A
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown

Verse 2
A                 Bm          D       E        A
Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
A               Bm             D        E       A
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word
    F#m                  C#m
And don't think that I'm out of line
    D        C#m     Bm      E
For speaking out for what is mine
A                   Bm
I'd like to see you do just fine
     D      C#m       Bm
But look at what you wear
        D       C#m      Bm
And the way you cut your hair
      F#m    E        D     C#m      Bm        E    A
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown

F          Am7                        Bbmaj7
  In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled
F           Am7                   Bbmaj7
  Barrytown people got to be from another world

Verse 3
A                Bm               D      E        A
Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet
A                 Bm             D       E       A
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street
    F#m                 C#m
And don't you scream or make a shout
     D       C#m     Bm    E
It's nothing you can do about
A                  Bm
It was there where you came out
       D       C#m     Bm
It's a special lack of grace
      D      C#m     Bm
I can see it in your face
      F#m    E        D     C#m      Bm        E    A
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown
