"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#mC#mDE#m
And though you're not my enemy, I like things like they used to be;
ABm7Bm7
And though you'd like some company, I'm standing by myself,
DBm7
Go and play with someone else.
Chorus
F#mEDC#mAm7
I can see by what you carry that you came from Barry Town.
ABm7DA7
2. Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard;
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word.
F#mC#mDC#mE
And don't think that I'm out of line for speaking for what is mine;
ABm7Bm7
I like to see you just fine, but looking at what you wear
DBm7
And the way you cut you hair.
Chorus
Interlude
FAm7Bmaj9FAm7
In the beginning we recall the word was hurled; Barry Town people got to be from
Bmaj9
another world.
ABm7DE7A
3. Leave me or I'll be just like the others that you meet;
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street.
F#mC#mDC#mE
And don't you scream or make a shout; it's nothing you can do about;
ABm7DC#mBm7
It was there where you came out, it's a special lack of grace,
DC#mBm7
I can see it on your face. Chorus & repeat 3 x
