[Verse 1]
[G]On [D]the South [G]Side of Chicago
[D]is [A]the baddest part of town
And if you [B]go down there
you bet[C]ter beware of a
[D]man named [C]Leroy Brown
[D]Now Ler[G]oy wan[D]ted tro[G]uble,
[D]you [A]see he stood about sixty -four
All the [B]downtown ladies
call him [C]treetop lover
The [D]man just to [C]call him [G]sir
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
[A]Baddest man in the whole downtown
Bad[B]der than old King [C]Kong
[D]Meaner than the [C]junkyard dog[D]s
Now [Gm]Leroy, [G]he's a gambler,
and he [A]likes his fancy clothes
And he [B]likes to wear his dia[C]mond ring
under [D]every[C]body's nose
[D]He got a [G]custom contin[D]ental
[G]and an [A]El Dorado too
A [B].32 gun in his [C]pocket for fun,
he got a [D]razor [C]in his shoe
[D]And he ban[G]g, bang,
[B]Leroy [G]drowns[A]
Baddest cat in the whole downtown
Bet[B]ter than [C]Okincon
Neat[D]er than a [C]junkyard dog
[D]Well Fri[G]day about a week ago
[A]Leroy shootin' dice
And at the [B]edge of the park
a [C]girl named Doris
And [D]who's that [C]girl of night?
[D]Well, he [G]cast his eyes upo[D]n her[G],
and the [A]trouble soon began
[B]Leroy Brown learned a lesson [C]about
messin' [A]with the [D]wife of a [C]jealous [D]man
Hey [G]babe, [Bb]Leroy [G]Brown,[A]
baddest cat in the whole town town
Bad[B]der than old King [C]Kong,
[D]meaner than the [C]junkyard dog
[G]Wel[D]l, two[G] men too[D]k to fig[G]htin'
[D]An d [A]when they pulled
them from the floor
[B]Leroy looked like a jigsaw [C]puzzle
With a [D]couple of [C]pieces [G]gone
[D]He's [G]bad, bad Leroy Brown
[D]Bad[A]dest cat in the whole damn town
Bad[B]der than an old King [C]Kong
[D]Meaner than a [C]junkyard dog
[D]And he'[G]s bad, bad, Leroy Brown
[A]Baddest cat in the whole damn town
Bad[B]der than old King [C]Kong
Mean[D]er than a [C]junkyard dog
[D]Bad[B]der than old King Kon[C]g
Mean[D]er than a [C]junkyard dog
[G]
