G  
Well the south side of Chicago   
	A7  
Is the baddest part of town  
	   B7				C  
And if you go down there you'd better just beware  
     D7			G  
Of a man named Leroy Brown  
  
  
Now Leroy's more than trouble  
You see he stands 'bout six foot four  
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover  
All the men just call him 'sir'  
  
(Chorus:)  
	 G  
And he's bad, bad,  Leroy Brown  
     A7  
The baddest man in the whole down town  
B7		     C  
Badder than old King Kong  
D7			G  
Meaner than a junkyard dog  
  
  
Now Leroy he's a gambler  
And he likes his fancy clothes  
And he likes to wear his diamond rings  
In front of everybody's nose  
  
He got a custom Continental  
He got an El Dorado too  
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun  
He got a razor in his shoe  
  
(Chorus)  
  
Well Friday 'bout a week ago  
Leroy shooting dice  
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name Doris  
And oh that girl looked nice  
  
Well he cast his eyes upon her  
And the trouble soon began  
And Leroy Brown learned a lesson 'bout messin'  
With the wife of a jealous man  
  
(Chorus)  
  
Well the two men took to fightin'  
And when they pulled him from the floor  
Leroy looked like a jigsay puzzle  
With a couple of pieces gone  
  
(Chorus)
