Standard (EADGBE)

WELL, THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO IS THE BADDEST PART OF TOWN

 AND IF YOU GO DOWN THERE YOU BETTER JUST BEWARE

 OF A MAN NAME OF LEROY BROWN

 NOW LEROY MORE THAN TROUBLE, YOU SEE HE STAND ABOUT SIX FOOT FOUR B7

 ALL THE DOWNTOWN LADIES CALL HIM TREETOP LOVER

D7 G ALL THE MEN JUST CALL HIM SIR

 AND HE’S BAD, BAD LEROY BROWN

 THE BADDEST MAN IN THE WHOLE DAMN TOWN B7 C

BADDER THAN OL’ KING KONG

  | | MEANER THAN JUNKYARD DOG

 NOW, LEROY, HE’S A GAMBLER, AND HE LIKES HIS FANCY CLOTHES

 AND HE LIKES TO WAVE HIS DIAMOND RINGS

 IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY’S NOSE

HE GOT A CUSTOM CONTINENTAL, HE GOT AN EL DORADO TOO B7 C

HE GOT A .32 GUN IN HIS POCKET FOR FUN

 AND A RAZOR IN HIS SHOE (CHORUS)

WELL, FRIDAY ABOUT A WEEK AGO, LEROY’S SHOOTIN’ DICE

 AND AT THE EDGE OF THE BAR SAT A GIRL NAME OF DORIS

D7 G AND OH THAT GIRL LOOK NICE

 WELL, HE CAST HIS EYES UPON HER AND THE TROUBLE SOON BEGAN

 AND LEROY BROWN LEARNED A LESSON ‘BOUT MESSIN’ D7 G

WITH THE WIFE OF A JEALOUS MAN (CHORUS)

 WELL, THE TWO MEN TOOK TO FIGHTING

 AND WHEN THEY PULLED THEM FROM THE FLOOR B7 C

LEROY LOOKED LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE

 WITH A COUPLE OF PIECES GONE (CHORUS 2X)
