CD7
In the south side of Chicago, is the baddest part of town.
E7F
And if you go down there, you better just beware,
G7C
of a man named Leroy Brown.
CD7
Now Leroy, more than trouble. You see he stand bout six foot four.
E7F
And the downtown ladies call him tree top lover,
G7C
and the men just call him sir.
Chorus...
CD7
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.
E7FGFC
Badder than a ole King Kong, an meaner than a junkyard dog.
CD7
Now Leroy, he's a gambler. And he likes his fancy clothes.
E7FG7C
And he likes to wave his diamond rings, in front of everybody's nose.
CD7
He got a custom Continental. He got an Eldorado too.
E7F
He got a thirty two gun, in his pocket for fun,
G7C
he got a razor in his shoe.
(chorus)
CD7
Well friday, bout a week ago. Leroy, shootin dice.
E7F
At the edge of the bar, sat a girl named Doris.
G7CC
And ooh dat girl looked nice. Well he casts his eyes upon her,
D7E7F
and trouble soon began. And Leroy Brown learned a lesson,
G7C
bout messin with the wife of a jealous man.
(chorus)
CD7
Well the two men, took to fightin, and when they pulled them from the floor.
E7F
Leroy looked like a jig saw puzzle,
G7C
with a couple of pieces gone.
(chorus)
