[Verse 1]
E
The trouble boys came in
E
I guessed they'd been out fightin' and ravin'
A
It wasn't long before they moved in and picked up
E
The girls we brought to the dance at the night spot
B G
It closed at ten so I had to move fast
A E
To get my baby back from the trouble boys
[Vere 2]
E
Twenty five guys from the east side of the city
Kings of hell raising in the neighborhood
A E
Well, one of them walked up and started dancin' with my girl
Who was cryin' 'cause I didn't stop him
B G A
All I could say to my baby was
E
"Honey, this man is bigger than the both of us"
[Chorus]
A E
He's a trouble boy and there's trouble boys all around me
B
No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
A
I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face
E A E
With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
[Verse 3]
E
Well, I thought to myself it's time to make my move
A
I breathed my last sigh and I started to groove with my baby
A
Who was still dancin' with the other guy
E
By the look in her eye I was a martyr
B G
She knew I was dead
A E
'Cause no one cuts in on the trouble boy
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah, the trouble boys and the trouble boys all around me
B
No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
A
I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face
E A E
With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
[Guitar Solo]
E A E B G A E
[Verse 4]
E
Twenty five gorillas all around me
E
I was shakin' like a leaf on a autumn tree
A
The leader came up and he grabbed my hand
E
And he shook it like a brother, didn't crush it after all
B G A
He said, "Good shot buddy, you're the only guy
E
Who's stood up to a trouble boy"
[Chorus]
A E
Yeah, the trouble boy and the trouble boys all around me
B
No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
A
I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face
E A E
With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
[Outro]
B
No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
A
But I know someone who can stand face to face
E A E
With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
B
No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
A
But I know somebody who can stand face to face
E A E
With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
B
No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
