[Ab] Guess who [Cm] just got back [Db] today?
That [Fm] wild-eyed boy that had been [Eb] away
[Fm] Haven't changed, had much [Bbm] to say
But man, I still think them cats [Ab] are crazy
[Cm] They were asking if you were [Db] around
How you [E] was, where you could be [Eb] found
Told [Cm] them you were living downtown
[Db] Driving all the old men crazy
[Ab] [Bb] [Db]

[Ab] [Cm] that chick that used to [Db] dance a lot
Every [Cm] night she'd be on the floor shaking what she got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, [Db] she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
[Ab] And [Cm] that time over at Johnny's [Db] Place
Well, this [Dbm] chick got up and she slapped [Cm] Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the [Db] place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

Down [Cm] at Dino's [F] Bar and Grill
[Eb] The drink will [Fm] flow and blood will spill
[Db] And if the boys want to fight, you better let them
[Ab] That [Cm] jukebox in the corner blasting out [Db] my favorite songs
The [Dbm] nights are getting [E] warmer, it [Eb] won't be long
Won't [Fm] be long till summer [Db] comes
Now that the boys are here again
