Ab                     Cm
Guess who just got back  today
Db                        Fm
  Them wildeyed boys that had been away
Cm                     Fm
  Haven't changed that much to say
Bbm
   But man,
              Db/Eb
I still think them cats are crazy
Ab                Cm
  They were askin'  if you were around
Db                   E
  How you was, where you could be found
Cm                    Fm
  Told 'em you were livin' downtown
Bbm                        Db/Eb
   Drivin' all the old men crazy

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Ab                              Cm
  You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Db                     Fm
  Every night she'd be on the floor,
shakin' what she got
Cm               Fm
  When I say she was cool she was red hot
Bbm                Db/Eb
   I mean, she was steamin'
Ab                  Cm
  And that time over  at Johnny's place,
Db
  Well,
                  E
this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Cm                  Fm
  Man, we just fell about the place
Bbm
   If that chick don't want to know,
Db/Eb
forget her

[Chorus]
    Ab
The boys are back in town
Bb Db

Ab                                Cm
  Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Db                       Fm
  Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill
Cm                   Fm
  The drink will flow  and the blood will spill
Bbm
   And if the boys want to fight,
    Db/Eb
you better let 'em
Ab                       Cm
  That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
Db
  The nights are getting warmer,
E
it won't be long
Cm                   Fm
  Won't be long till the summer comes
Bbm                           Db/Eb
