Barry Town - Steely Dan
INTRO: /A /Bm7 /D E7 /A X 2
VERSE 1
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 Bm E
And though you're not my enemy, I like things how 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 E A
I can see by what you carry that you come 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 Bm E
And don't think that I'm out of line for speaking out for what is mine;
A Bm7 D C#m Bm7
I like to see you do just fine, but look at what you wear
D C#m Bm7
And the way you cut your hair.
CHORUS:
F#m E D C#m Bm7 E A
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barry Town.

BRIDGE
F Am7 Bbmaj9
In the beginning we were taught that the world was high;
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 you will 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 Bm 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 E A
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barry Town
OUT-TRO: /A /Bm7 /D E7 /A repeat fade
