[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]
[G][G][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Well the [G]South side of Chicago
Is the [A]baddest part of town
And if you [B]go down there
You better [C]just beware
Of a [D]man named [C]Leroy [G]Brown[D]

[Verse 2]
Now [G]Le roy more than trouble
You see he [A]stand about six foot four
All those [B]downtown ladies
call him [C]"Treetop Lover"
All the [D]men just [C]call him [G]"Sir"[D]

[Chorus 1]
And it's [G]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [A]baddest man in the whole damned town
[B]Badder than old King [C]Kong
And [D]meaner than a [C]junkyard [G]dog[D]

[Verse 3]
Now [G]Le roy he a gambler
And he [A]like his fancy clothes
And he [B]like to wave his [C]diamond rings
In front of [D]everybod[C]y's [G]nose[D]

[Verse 4]
He got a [G]custom Continental
He got a [A]Eldorado too
He got a [B]thirty two gun
in his pock[C]et for fun
He got a [D]razor [C]in his [G]shoe[D]

[Chorus 2]
And it's [G]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [A]baddest man in the whole damned town
[B]Badder than old King [C]Kong
And [D]meaner than a [C]junkyard [G]dog[D]

[Verse 5]
Well [G]Friday 'bout a week ago
[A]Leroy shootin' dice
And at the [B]edge of the bar
Sat a [C]girl named Doris
And [D]ooh that [C]girl looked [G]nice[D]

[Verse 6]
Well he [G]cast his eyes upon her
And the [A]trouble soon began
And [B]Leroy Brown he learned a [C]lesson
'Bout messin' with the [D]wife
of a [C]jealous [G]man[D]

[Chorus 3]
And it's [G]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [A]baddest man in the whole damned town
[B]Badder than old King [C]Kong
And [D]meaner than a [C]junkyard [G]dog[D]

[Verse 7]
Well the [G]two men took to fighting
And when they [A]pulled them from the floor
[B]Leroy looked like a [C]jigsaw puzzle
With a [D]couple of pieces [D]gone

[Chorus 4]
And it's [G]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [A]baddest man in the whole damned town
[B]Badder than old King [C]Kong
And [D]meaner than a [C]junkyard [G]dog[D]

[Chorus 5]
And he's [G]bad, bad Leroy Brown
The [A]baddest man in the whole damned town
[B]Badder than old King [C]Kong
And [D]meaner than a [C]junkyard [G]dog
Yeah, he was [B]badder than old King [C]Kong
[D]Meaner than a [C]junkyard [G]dog[G]
