Jim Croce
#From: macon@gallifry.Berkeley.EDU (Glen Macon)
Well, the
G
south side of Chicago
Is the
A7
baddest part of town.
And if you
B7
go down there
You better j
C
ust beware of a
D7
man name of Leroy
G
Brown.
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
You see he
A7
stand about 'bout six foot four.
All the
B7
downtown ladies call him "
C
treetop lover."
All the
D7
men just call him "
G
sir."
Chorus:
And he's
G
bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The
A7
baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7
Badder than old
C
King Kong
And
D
meaner than a
C
junkyard dog.
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
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
Well,
G
the two men took to fightin'
And when they
A7
pulled them from the floor,
B7
Leroy looked like a
C
jigsaw puzzle with a
D7
couple of pieces
G
gone.
#Out Chorus:
Yes, you were
B7
badder than old King
C
Kong
And
D
meaner than a
C
junkyard
G
dog.
