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
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

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
