[Intro]

[Verse]
G D        G                    
■ Well the South side of Chicago
       A       A7      A   
Is the baddest part of town
           B7           
And if you go down there
           C          
You better just beware
     D   C           D7   
Of a man named Leroy Brown
    G                      
Now Leroy more than trouble
           A                        
You see he stand about six foot four
          B7                       C            
All those downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover
                          D7 
All the men just call him Sir
         G                  
And it's bad bad Leroy Brown
    A       A7         A                
The baddest man in the whole damned town
B      B7            C   
Badder than old King Kong
    D             C        D7 
And meaner than a junkyard dog
    G                 
Now Leroy he a gambler
       A              A7      Asus4
And he like his fancy clothes ■    
A      B                C            
And he like to wave his diamond rings
         D  C                G
In front of everybody's nose ■
D          G      C           G
■ He got a custom Continental ■
         A           
He got a Eldorado too
         B                     C             
He got a thirty two gun in his pocket for fun
         D     C      D7  
He got a razor in his shoe


[Chorus]
         G Em      G          
And it's ■ bad bad Leroy Brown
A7                                         
■  The baddest man in the whole damned town
B7                   C   
Badder than old King Kong
D                 C        D  
And meaner than a junkyard dog


[Verse]
     G                      
Well Friday 'bout a week ago
A                  
Leroy shootin' dice
           B7             
And at the edge of the bar
    C                   
Sat a girl named a Doris
D       C                G    D
And ooh that girl looked nice ■
        G                     
Well he cast his eyes upon her
        A                 
And the trouble soon began
    B                        C     
And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson
                       D         C       Dsus4
'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man  


[Chorus]
D7          G                  
■  And it's bad bad Leroy Brown
            A7                          
The baddest man in the whole damned town
B7                   C   
Badder than old King Kong
    D             C        G   D
And meaner than a junkyard dog ■
         G                       
Well the two men took to fighting
              A                         
And when they pulled them from the floor
B7                  C            
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
                        D   
With a couple of pieces gone
         G                  
And it's bad bad Leroy Brown
    A                               A7  
The baddest man in the whole damned town
B7                   C   
Badder than old King Kong
D      C                  
Meaner than a junkyard dog
D7       G                    
And he's ■ bad bad Leroy Brown
    A7                                  
The baddest man in the whole damned town
B7                   C   
Badder than old King Kong
    D                      G  
And meaner than a junkyard dog
                                 C   
Yeah he was badder than old King Kong
D                      G  
Meaner than a junkyard dog
