Jim Croce, Bad Bad Leroy Brown (1973)
^{Key: :[F#] (w: Jim Croce)}

INTRO: [F#5]^[F#6] [C#5]

VERSE 1:
Well the [F#5] south side of Chicago, is the [G#5] baddest part of town,
And if you [A#5] go down there, you better [B5] just beware,
Of a [C#5] man named [B5] Leroy [F#5] Brown [C#7]
Now Leroy more than trouble, you see he stands about six foot four,
All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover; All the men just call him sir

CHORUS:
And it's [F#5] bad, bad Leroy Brown,
The [G#5] baddest man in the whole damn town,
[A#5] Badder than old King [B5] Kong,
And [C#5] meaner than a [B5] junkyard [F#5] dog [C#7]

VERSE 2:
Now Leroy he a gambler, and he like 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 Eldorado too,
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun, He got a razor in his shoe

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
Well Friday bout a week ago, Leroy shooting 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 messing, with the wife of a jealous man

REPEAT CHORUS:

Well the two men, they took to fighting,
And when they pulled them from the floor,
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle, with a couple of pieces gone.

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

OUTRO:
[A#7] Badder than old King [B] Kong,
And [C#7] meaner than a [B] junkyard [F#] dog [C#7] [F#]
