G5                    B5
Guess who just got back today
C5                       E5                B5
Them wild eyed boys that had been away.
                 E5
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
A5                         D5
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy.


G5                   B5
They were asking if you were around,
C5                   E5
How you was, where you could be found.
   D5                        Emsus
I told them you were living downtown.
A5                 D5
Driving all the old men crazy.


Chorus:
    G5                                                 A5         C5
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
           G5                           A5                   C5
I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town
    G5
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
    A5                         C5
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.


          ( G5 , A5 , G5 , C5 , D5 )

G5                        B5
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
C5                    B5                              E5
Ev'ry night she'd be on the floor shakin' what she'd got.
                     A5                               C5
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot!
                 D5
I mean she was steaming.

G5                         B5
And at that time over at Johnny's place,
C5                             Eb5
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face.
D5             E5
Man! We just fell about the place.
            A5                     D5
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her!


    G5                                                 A5         C5
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
           G5                           A5                   C5
I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town
    G5
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
    A5                         C5
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.


            ( G5 , A5 , G5 , C5 , D5 )

 F5 , C5 , B5

           E5        A5            D5                E5    F5
Spread the word around, Guess who's back in town.
C5               B5             E5   A5  D5   E5
Just spread the word around.


G5                        B5
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
C5              E5
Down at Dino's bar and grill
B5                               E5
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
           A5                         D5
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.


G5                           B5                           C5
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my fav'rite song.
                        Eb5                               D5
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long,
              E5
Won't be long till summer comes
A5                         D5
Now that the boys are here again.
