Well, the south side of Chicago

You better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.

in front of everybody's nose

         G
He got a custom Continental.

          A7
He got an Eldorado too.

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.

    D7*           C        G
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
