Well, the south side of Chicago
D7 D7
Is the baddest part of town.
E7 E7
And if you go down there
F7 F7 G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
You better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.
C C
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
D7 D7
You see he stand about 'bout six foot four.
E7 E7 F7 F7
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover."
G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
All the men just call him "sir."

Chorus:

C C
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
D7 D7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
E7 E7 F7 F7
Badder than old King Kong
G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.

Verse 2:

C C
Now, Leroy, he a gambler,
D7 D7
and he like his fancy clothes.
E7 E7 F7 F7
And he like to wave diamond rings
G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
in front of everybody's nose
C C
He got a custom Continental.
D7 D7
He got an Eldorado too.
E7 E7 F7 F7
He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun.
G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
He got a razor in his shoe.

(Repeat Chorus)

Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,

Leroy's shootin' dice.

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris
G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
and oh, that girl look nice
C C
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
D7 D7
and the trouble soon began.
E7 E7 F7 F7
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
with the wife of a jealous man

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 4:

C C
Well, the two men took to fightin'
D7 D7
And when they pulled them from the floor,
E7 E7 F7 F7 G7 G7 F7 F7 C C G7 G7
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.

(Repeat Chorus 2Xs)

Outro

E7 E7 F F
Yes, you were badder than old King Kong
G7 G7* F7 F7 C C
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
