The Boys Are Back in Town Lyrics
by Everclear
Release Date: August 3, 1999
Tunning: Standard
Intro: G A C (in between G and A, there is this little riff):
Verse: Played with slight palm muting
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
They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
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.
There was this chick who used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
That night over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
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
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
Jam: GGGG|GGGG|AAAA|CCCC|
Another guitar is playing this:
G--4b5r4-------4b5r4-------4b5r4--------4b5r4---------------4---------------5b7r5----------5b7r5
End with: G A
After that little part when Art's singing "Spread the word around" you play:
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
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
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!
Feel free to ask me any questions!
