[Verse 1]

A                  C#m  

Guess who just got back today?

D                          F#m

Those wild eyed boys who've been away,

C#m                           F#m

They haven't changed, haven't had much to say,

Bm                               Bm/E

But man I still think those cats are crazy.

A                    C#m

They were askimg me if you were around,

D                Dm

How you was, and where you could be found,

C#m                         F#m

I told them you were living down town,

Bm                      Bm/E

Driving all the old men crazy.

 

[Chorus]

A                                                Bm D

The boys are back in town. (Boys are back in town)

A

The boys are back in Tow-oo-ow-own,

Bm          D

The Boys are back in town.

A

The Boys are back in town (Boys are back in town)

Bm                D

The Boys are back, The boys are back

[Verse 2]

A                              C#m

Remember that chick who used to dance a lot?

D                 F#m

Every night on the floor she'll be shaking what she got,

C#m                    F#m

Man I tell you she was cool, she was red hot.

Bm               Bm/E

I mean, she was steaming.

A                   C#m

That one time over at Jonny's place,

D                      Dm

That chick got up and slapped Jonny's face,

C#m               F#m

Man we just fell about the place,

Bm                                     Bm/E

And if that girl don't want to know, forget her.

 

[Chorus]

Bm  Bm/E                D     F#m

Guess whose back in town...oh...

REPEAT

 

[Verse 3]

A                      C#m

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,

D             F#m

Down at Tino's bar and grill,

C#m                          F#m

The drinks will flow and the blood will spill,

Bm                             Bm/E

And if those boys want to fight, you'd better let 'em.

A                       C#m

The jutebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,

D                       E

The nights are getting warmer and it won't be long,

C#m                  F#m

It won't be long till summer comes,

Bm                    Bm/E

Now that those boys are here again.
