Title: BAD, BAD LEROY BROWN (Jim Croce)
[Verse]
G
Well, the south side of Chicago
A7
Is the baddest part of town.
B7
And if you go down there
C D7 G
You better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
A7
You see he stand about 'bout six foot four.
B7 C
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover."
D7 G
All the men just call him "sir."
[Chorus]
G
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7 C
Badder than old King Kong
D C
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
[Verse]
Now, Leroy, he a gambler,
and he likes his fancy clothes.
And he likes to wave diamond rings
in front of everybody's nose.
He got a custom Continental.
He got an Eldorado too.
He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun.
He got a razor in his shoe.
[Chorus]
G
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7 C
Badder than old King Kong
D C
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
[Verse]
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,
Leroy's shootin' dice.
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris
and oh, that girl look nice
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
and the trouble soon began.
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
with the wife of a jealous man
[Chorus]
G
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7 C
Badder than old King Kong
D C
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
[Bridge]
G
Well, the two men took to fightin'
A7
And when they pulled them from the floor,
B7 C D7 G
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.
[Out chorus]
B7 C
Yes, you were badder than old King Kong
D C G
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
