Well, the Southside of Chicago is the baddest part of town
        B7                           C                D7                 G
And if you go down there you better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown
                                         A7
Now Leroy more than trouble you see he stand 'bout six foot four
         B7                        C                     D7                  G 
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover" all the men just call him "Sir"


          G                       A7   
And he's bad bad Leroy Brown the baddest man in the whole damned town
 B7                   C    D             C         G
Badder than old King Kong meaner than a junk yard dog


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


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


           G                                     A7 
Well, the two men took to fightin' and when they pulled them from the floor
B7                   C                    D7               G  
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone
          G                       A7
And he's bad bad Leroy Brown the baddest man in the whole damned town
              B7                   C    D             C         G
