Guess who just got back today
D                       F#m                C#m7
Them wild eyed boys that had been away.
                 F#m
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
Bm7                         Bm7/E
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy.

A                   C#m7
They were asking if you were around,
D                   F
How you was, where you could be found.
   C#m7                        F#m
I told them you were living downtown.
Bm7                      Bm7/E
Driving all the old men crazy.


Chorus:
    A                                                B      D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
           A                          B                    D
I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town
    A
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
    B                          D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.


             (A,C#m7,D,C#m7) X 2

A                        C#m7
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
D                               F#m
Ev'ry night she'd be on the floor shakin' what she'd got.
C#m7                         F#m
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot!
Bm7                 Bm7/E
I mean she was steaming.

A                         C#m7
And at that time over at Johnny's place,
D                             F
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face.
C#m7             F#m
Man! We just fell about the place.
 Bm7                             Bm7/E
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her!

Chorus:
    A                                                B      D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
           A                          B                    D
I said the boys are back in town. The boys are back in town
    A
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
    B                          D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

      C#m7        F#m            Bm7             E  F#m    Dsus4,D
Spread the word around, Guess who's back in town.

Just spread the word around.


A                        C#m7
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
D              F#m
Down at Dino's bar and grill
C#m7                               F#m
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
           Bm7                         Bm7/E
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.


A                           C#m7                      D
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my fav'rite song.
                        F                               C#m7
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long,
          F#m
Won't be long till summer comes
Bm7                        Bm7/E
Now that the boys are here again.

Chorus:
    A                                                B      D

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town. X 2
