[Intro]
E
 
[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
