G B
Guess who just got back today?

Those wild-eyed boys that had been away

Haven't changed, haven't much to say

But man, I still think those cats are great
G B
They were asking if you were around
C E
How you was, where you could be found
B E
I told them you were living downtown
C D
Driving all the old men crazy
G G A C
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
G A C C C C B A
I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town.
G B
There was this chick who used to dance a lot
C E
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she got
B E
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
C D
I mean she was steaming
G B
That night over at Johnny's place
C E
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
B E
Man we just fell about the place
C D
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town

After that little part when Art's singing "Spread the word around" you play:
B|G|C and end with: G|A|B|C
G B
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
C E
Down at Dino's bar and grill
B E
The drink will flow and blood will spill
C D
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
G B C
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
E B
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
E
It won't be long till summer comes
C D
Now that the boys are here again
G G A C
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
G A C
I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town
After that you play the chorus a few times. Thats it!
This song is using all power chords, its pretty easy, but a GREAT SONG!
Feel free to ask me any questions!
