Bad Bad LeRoy Brown
Jim Croce
G A7
Well the South side of Chicago is the baddest part of town
B7 C
And if you go down there you better just beware
D7 G
Of a man named Leroy Brown
A7
Now Leroy more than trouble you see he stand about 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 bad, bad Leroy Brown
A7
The baddest man in the whole damned town
B7 C
Badder than old King Kong
D C G
And meaner than a junkyard 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 everybody's nose
A7
He got a custom Continental, he got an Eldorado too
B7 C D7 G
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun, he got a razor in his shoe
(Repeat Chorus)
A7
Now Friday 'bout a week ago Leroy shootin' dice
B7 C
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name
D7 G
Doris and oo, that girl looked nice
A7
Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began
B7 C
Leroy Brown learned a lesson 'bout messin'
D7 G
With the wife of a jealous man
(Repeat Chorus)
G
Well the two men took to fighting
A7
And when they pulled them from the floor
B7 C
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
D7 G
With a couple of pieces gone.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
B7 C D C G
Badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog
