 G B
 Guess who just got back today?

 Those wild-eyed boys that had been away

 Haven't changed, haven't much to say

 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

 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

 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!
