Guess who just got back today

Them wild-eyed boys that had been away

Haven't changed, haven't much to say

But man, I still think them cats are crazy 
A5                     C#m 
They were asking if you were around 
D                   Fsus4 
How you was, where you could be found 
C#m7                      Fsus4 
Told them you were living downtown

Verse 2 
A5                               C#m 
You know that chick that used to dance a lot 
D                               Fsus4 
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got 
C#m7                      Fsus4 
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot 
D              E11 
I mean she was steaming 
A5                    C#m 
And that time over at Johnny's place 
D                               Fsus4 
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face 
C#m7               Fsus 
Man we just fell about the place

If that chick don't want to know, forget her
