“The Boys are Back in Town” was the breakout song for Irish rockers, Thin Lizzy, in 1977. Drummer, Brian Downey, plays a rockin’ shuffle-groove throughout, punctuating the guitarists’ riffs with off-beat hi-hat slurps and end-of-the-bar crashes. It still packs a punch 40 years on. NOTE: To avoid version confusion, the sheet music represents the album version of the song (4min, 29sec), not the single version (3min, 11sec).
