Biography:
Steely Dan is an American jazz rock band which formed in 1972. The band was formed by Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards) and Walter Becker (guitar, bass), who met in 1967 while both attended Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, and began a songwriting partnership shortly thereafter.
Their music is characterized by dark, witty lyrical narratives, obscure lyrical allusions and complex, jazz-influenced instrumentation and chord sequences, overlying more ordinary popular song structures.

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
D C#m Bm
Go play with someone else
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
