A C#m7
Guess who just got back today
D F#sus4 C#m7
Them wild eyed boys that had been away.
F#sus4
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#sus4
I told them you were living downtown.
Bm7 Bm7/E
Driving all the old men crazy.

[Chorus]

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

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

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

A C#m7
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
D F#sus4
Ev’ry night she’d be on the floor shakin’ what she’d got.
C#m7 F#sus4
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#sus4
Man! We just fell about the place.
Bm7 Bm7/E
If that chick don’t wanna know, forget her!

[Chorus]

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

I said 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#sus4
Down at Dino’s bar and grill
C#m7 F#sus4
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#sus4
Won’t be long till summer comes
Bm7 Bm7/E
Now that the boys are here again.
