[Verse 1]

                        G
Well, the south side of Chicago

And if you go down there
                  C                       D7                  C            G D7
You better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.

You see he stand about 'bout six foot four.

All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover."

in front of everybody's nose

Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,
A7
Leroy's shootin' dice.

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

              D7           C           G   D7
with the wife of a jealous man

And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,

The baddest man in the whole damn town.

And meaner than a junkyard dog.

[Verse 4]

                G
Well, the two men took to fightin'
                         A7
And when they pulled them from the floor,
B7                            C                                  D7          C      G    D7
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.

And meaner than a junkyard dog.
