"Barry Town" by Walter Becker & Donald Fagen (Steely Dan)
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]And though you're not my enemy, I like [C#m]things like th[D]ey used to be;[C#m][E]
And thou[A]gh you'd like some company, I'm standing[Bm7] by myself,[D][C#m][Bm7]
Go and play wi[D]th someone else.[C#m][Bm7]
Chorus
I can see by [F#m]what you c[E]arry that yo[D]u came f[C#m]rom Barry Town.[Bm7][A]
[A]2. Don't believe [Bm7]I'm taken in by stories I h[D]ave heard;[E7][A]
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word.
[F#m]And don't think that I'm out of line for[C#m] speaking[D] for what i[C#m]s mine;[E]
I like t[A]o see you just fine, but lo[Bm7]oking at what you wear[D][C#m][Bm7]
And the way you [D]cut you hair.[C#m][Bm7]
Chorus
Interlude
[F]In the beginning we r[Am7]ecall the word was hurl[Bmaj9]ed; Barry Town people[F] got to be from [Am7]
[Bmaj9]another world.
[A] 3. Leave me or [Bm7]I'll be just like the other[D]s that you m[E7]eet; [A]
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street.
[F#m] And don't you scream or make[C#m] a shout;[D] it's nothi[C#m]ng you can do about; [E]
[A] It was there where you cam[Bm7]e out, it's a special lac[D]k of[C#m] grace,[Bm7]
[D] I can see it on y[C#m]our fa[Bm7]ce. Chorus & repeat 3 x
