Dropkick Murphys - "The Boys Are Back" (Guitar Lesson) chords
Start Jamming...
The boy in the back, the boy in the back, the boy in the back,
[F] can't stand looking for trouble.
[Bb] Hey, this is James, Tim, and Jeff from the Dropkick Murphys.
We're here with a guitar lesson for you.
The opening track from our new album, Tiny Deal and Blood.
It's called The Boy in the Back, and it's a classic Dropkick Murphys opening track.
The capo was always very important, because we had bagpipes that play in one key,
and after eight [F] albums to make it interesting.
[Bb] This is the secret.
It can play in two keys, E flat and B flat.
This one starts [Bbm] in B flat, so we got three chords in it.
[Eb]
[F] It's like playing a G, C, and a D in a [C] normal [Bb] phrasing, I guess.
[C] Jeff [Bb] starts the song, [Ab] and we're all playing guitars [Bbm] on it,
and we're all doing kind of different things, and really, that is the song.
It's mostly about what we're doing against each other,
because it's such a simple thing, which is kind of a classic thing for the band to do.
So, Jeff opens it, we show you the [Bb] chords.
There's no reason you should not be able to play along at this point.
It's on you now.
All right, here [Bb] goes.

Everything you need to know about playing The Boy in the Back.
When I get down, I'm going to get down.
You got nowhere to hide, you got [F] nowhere to [Eb] run.
It's been a long [F] time coming.
[Eb] It's been a long time coming.
