G B

Guess who just got back today?

C E

Those wild-eyed boys that had been away

B E

Haven't changed, haven't much to say

C D

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

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

G G A C

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

G G A C

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

End with: G A

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!
