{c:Intro:|   [C]   [G7]        |:}

Well the [C]South side of Chicago, is the [D7]baddest part of town
And if you [E7]go down there, you better [F]just beware
Of a [G7]man named Leroy [C]Brown 
Now [C]Leroy more than trouble, you see he [D7]stand 'bout six foot four 
All the [E7]downtown ladies call him [F]'Treetop Lover' 
All the [G7]men just call him [C]'Sir' 


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
And he's [C]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [D7]baddest man in the whole damned town
[E7]Badder than old King [F]Kong
And [G7]meaner than a junkyard [C]dog
{eoc}


Now [C]Leroy, he a gambler, and he [D7]like his fancy clothes
And he [E7]like to wave his [F]diamond rings, 
In front of [G7]everybody's [C]nose
He got a [C]custom Continental, he got an [D7]Eldorado too
He got a [E7]32 gun in his [F]pocket for fun
He got a [G7]razor in his [C]shoe


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
And he's [C]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [D7]baddest man in the whole damned town
[E7]Badder than old King [F]Kong
And [G7]meaner than a junkyard [C]dog
{eoc}


Well [C]Friday 'bout a week ago, [D7]Leroy shootin' dice
And at the [E7]edge of the bar sat a [F]girl named Doris
And [G7]oo that girl looked [C]nice [C]
Well he [C]cast his eyes upon her, and the [D7]trouble soon began
Cause [E7]Leroy Brown learned a [F]lesson 'bout messin' 
With the [G7]wife of a jealous [C]man 


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
And he's [C]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [D7]baddest man in the whole damned town
[E7]Badder than old King [F]Kong
And [G7]meaner than a junkyard [C]dog
{eoc}


Well the [C]two men took to fighting
And when they [D7]pulled them from the floor
[E7]Leroy looked like a [F]jigsaw puzzle
With a [G7]couple of pieces [C]gone


{c:Final Chorus:}
{soc}
And he's [C]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [D7]baddest man in the whole damned town
[E7]Badder than old King [F]Kong
And [G7]meaner than a junkyard [C]dog
Yeah, you were [E7]badder than old King [F]Kong,
and [G7]meaner than a [F]junkyard [C]dog
{eoc}
