Intro :
G   D7
               G
Well, the south side of Chicago
         A7
Is the baddest part of town.
           B7
And if you go down there
           C                D7         C        G  D7
You better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.
     G
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
           A7
You see he stand about 'bout six foot four.
                 B7                        C 
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover."
        D7      C            G  D7
All the men just call him "sir."

Chorus :           

         G 
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
    A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7                      C 
Badder than old King Kong
    D7           C          G  D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.

     G
Now, Leroy, he a gambler,
       A7 
and he like his fancy clothes.
       B7           C 
And he like to wave diamond rings
            D7   C      G  D7
in front of everybody's nose
         G
He got a custom Continental.
          A7
He got an Eldorado too.
         B7                    C 
He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun.
         D7    C      G    D7
He got a razor in his shoe.

         G 
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
    A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7                      C 
Badder than old King Kong
    D7           C          G  D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.

      G        
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,
A7
Leroy's shootin' dice.
           B7                    C 
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris
    D7      C         G   D7
and oh, that girl look nice
         G
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
        A7
and the trouble soon began.
    B7                        C 
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
         D7       C       G   D7
with the wife of a jealous man

         G 
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
    A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7                      C 
Badder than old King Kong
    D7           C          G  D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.

          G
Well, the two men took to fightin'
              A7
And when they pulled them from the floor,
B7                  C                    D7       C      G    D7
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.

         G 
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
    A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7                      C 
Badder than old King Kong
    D7           C          G  D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.        

         G 
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
    A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7                      C 
Badder than old King Kong
    D7           C          G  
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
