Well, the south side of Chicago

Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris
D                 C         G

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