[Verse]
E A E A
Stranger in my street he sings his songs under a tree
E A A E
Outside a neighbourhood estate I wonder, why-y is he still
B7 E
Singing at me
E A E A
Call him what you want I named him "Barry the Faux Pas"
E A
Because he'll scream into the sky
A E
I wonder, why-y,
A E
I wonder, why-y,
A E
I wonder, why-y,
B7 E
is he still screaming at me?
B7
and underneath that wisdom tree did Barry say to me
[Chorus]
A E A E C#m7
Whatever you do, whatever you say, however it's done,
A E
whatever becomes is gonna' happen to you

E A E A
Only when it's dark you'll hear him roaring in the park
E A A E
To an optimistic boy who wonders, why-y
A E
he wonders, why-y,
A E
he wonders, why-y
B7 E
is he still screaming at me
N/C (Palm Mute)
Solid heart of gold he'll tell you stories when he's old
A E
he doesn't do just what he's told he wonders why-y,
A E
he wonders why-y,
A E
he wonders why-y
B7 E
is he still screaming at me?
