Brantley Gilbert - Them Boys

for this song , play the C chord as A Cadd9 and Em as Em7 . that’s the way brantley plays it

intro : G , Cadd9 , Em7 , Cadd9

verse 1 :
( G ) look at them boys in the back of that truck
( Cadd9 ) somebody oughta jerk a knot in their butts
out ( Em7 ) ridin around like they own this town
( Cadd9 ) racket turned all the way up
( G ) it’s too early for school to let out
( D/F# ) the pastor’s boy just threw his cigarette out
( Em7 ) sure hope there ain’t beer in them cups
( Cadd9 ) the all – star quarter backs turning them up

chorus :
( G ) yeah them boys don’t know one thing about life
( Cadd9 ) true love and trouble , stuggles and strides
( Em7 ) they think it’s all just fun and games
( Cadd9 ) like laws and rules are balls and chains
( G ) treat little girls like hearts don’t break
( Cadd9 ) treatin old men like hands don’t shake
( Em7 ) i pray it’s just a phase , they’re goin through
oh but ( Em7 ) what ( D/F# ) are we gonna ( Cadd9 ) do with them boys

verse 2 :
( G ) i heard ol’ frank’s grandson got caught
( Cadd9 ) with a case full of beer at smith – boy’s barn
( Em7 ) yall didn’t hear all of this from me
( Cadd9 ) but i heard he got it with a fake id

chorus again

instrumental is the intro once again

bridge :
( Em7 ) lookin back on the times we’ve shared ,
( Cadd9 ) rockin and roll in these rockin chairs
( G ) the same ones our grandDaddy’s sat ( D/F# ) in
now this ( Em7 ) old wood stone in this hardware store
( Cadd9 ) talkin gossip , weather and war
( G ) and how much trouble we were ( D/F# ) in
oh you can ( Em7 ) bet they ( D/F# ) said it back ( Cadd9 ) then
