Bad Bad Leroy Brown Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

And he

bad, bad Leroy Brown

The

baddest man in the whole damned town

Badder than old King

Kong

And

meaner than a junkyard

dog

Now Leroy, he a gambler

And he like his fancy clothes

And he like to wave his diamond rings

In front of everybody's nose

He got a custom Continental

He got an Eldorado too

He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun

He got a razor in his shoe

(CHORUS)

Now Friday 'bout a week ago

Leroy shootin' dice

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name Doris

And oo, that girl looked nice

Well he cast his eyes upon her

And the trouble soon began

Leroy Brown learned a lesson 'bout messin'

With the wife of a jealous man

(CHORUS)

Well the two men took to fighting

And when they pulled them from the floor

Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle

With a couple of pieces gone.

(CHORUS)
