[Verse 1]

A                  C#m7
Guess who just got back today
D                     F#m
  Them wild eyed boys that had been away
C#m7                  F#m
     Haven't changed, had 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                       Dm7/F*
 How you was, where you could be found
C#m7                          F#m
    Told them you were living downtown
Bm7                      Bm7/E
    Driving all the old men crazy


[Chorus]

    A                                               B5   D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
           A                          B5                   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.
    B5                         D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

[Verse 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 that time over at Johnny's place
D                             Dm7/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                                               B5   D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
           A                          B5                   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.
    B5                         D
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

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 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 favourite song
                       Dm7/F*
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
C#m7               F#m
     Won't be long till summer comes
Bm7                           Bm7/E
   Now that the boys are here again


[Chorus]

    A                                               B5   D

The boys are back, the boys are back.
