[Verse 1]
           C                             D7
Well, the south side of Chicago, is the baddest part of town.
           E7                        F
And if you go down there you better just beware,
     G7                  C
of a man named a-Leroy Brown.
    C                                    D7
Now Leroy, more than trouble. You see he stand about six foot four.
        E7                       F
And the downtown ladies call him tree top-lover,
        G7                C
all the men just call him sir.

[Chorus]
         C                         D7
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.
E7                     F      G             F         C
Badder than a ol' King Kong,  meaner than a junkyard dog.

[Verse 2]
    C                           D7
Now Leroy, he a gambler. And he like his fancy clothes.
       E7                F                                     G7    C
And he like to wave his diamond rings, in front of every everybody's nose.
          C                            D7
He got a custom Continental. He got a Eldorado, too.
         E7                     F
He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun,
         G7           C
he got a razor in his shoe.

[Chorus]
         C                         D7
And he's bad, (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.
E7                     F        G             F         C
Badder than a ol' King Kong, an meaner than a junkyard dog.

[Verse 2]
      C                        D7
Well, Friday, 'bout a week ago. Leroy, shootin' dice.
            E7                    F
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named a-Doris.
    G7                  C     
And ooh, dat girl looked nice.
          C                             D7     
Well, he casts his eyes upon her, and a-trouble soon began. 
    E7                    F
And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
          G7                C
 with the wife of a jealous man.


[Chorus]
         C                         D7
And he's bad, (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.
E7                     F        G             F         C
Badder than a ol' King Kong, an meaner than a junkyard dog.

[Verse 3]
C                                                  D7
Well, the two men, took to fightin', and when they pulled them from the floor.
E7                  F
Leroy looked like a jig saw puzzle,
       G7                    C
with a couple of pieces gone.

[Chorus]
         C                         D7
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.
E7                     F        G             F         C
Badder than a ol' King Kong, an meaner than a junkyard dog.

[Chorus]
         C                         D7
And he's bad, (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown. Baddest man in the whole damn town.
E7                   F     G             F         C
Badder than ol' King Kong, meaner than a junkyard dog.

[Outro]
E7                             F     G             F         C
Yeah, he badder than ol' King Kong, meaner than a junkyard dog.
