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
