Well South side of Chicago is the baddest part of town
3 -3b 3 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4
And if you go down there,you better just beware
-3b 3 5 5 -4 -4 4
Of a man named Leroy Brown
3 -4 -4 -4 4 4 -3b
Now Leroy more than trouble
3 -3b 3 5 5 -4 -4 4
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
-3b 3 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
3 3 5 5 -4 -4 4
All the mens just call him "Sir"
refrain:
3 -3b 4 4 5 -4 4
And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 4
The baddest man in the whole d*** town
5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -3b 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 4
Badder than old King Kong,and meaner than a junkyard dog
-3b 5 -4 -4 4 4 -3b 3 -3b 5 5 -4 -4 4
Now Leroy he a gambler,and he like his fancy clothes
-3b 3 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 4
And he like to wave his diamond rings
3 -3b 3 5 5 -4-4 4
In front of everybody's nose
3 -3b 3 5 -4 -4 4 4 -3b 3 -3b 3 5 5 5 5 -4
He got a custom Continental,he got an Eldorado too
3 -3b 3 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -4 -4 -4 4
He got a thirty two gun in his pocket for fun
3 -3b 3 5 5 -4 -4 4
He got a razor in his shoe
refrain:
verse 2.
Well Friday bout a week ago,Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris
And ooh that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began
and Leroy Brown learned a lesson'bout messin'
with the wife of a jealous man
refrain:
verse 3.
Well the two men took to fightin'
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone
refrain:
