Well South side of Chicago is the baddest part of town
6 -6 6 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 -6
And if you go down there,you better just beware
-6 6 8 8 -8 -8 7
Of a man named Leroy Brown
6 8 -8 -8 7 7 -6
Now Leroy more than trouble
6 -6 6 8 8 -8 -8 7
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
-6 6 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
-6 6 8 8 -8 -8 7
All the mens just call him "Sir"

6 -6 7 7 8 -8 7
And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole d*** town
8 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -6 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 7
Badder than old King Kong,and meaner than a junkyard dog
-6 8 -8 -8 7 7 -6 6 -6 8 8 -8-8 7
Now Leroy he a gambler,and he like his fancy clothes
-6 6 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 7
And he like to wave his diamond rings
6 -6 6 8 8 -8-8 7
In front of everybody's nose
6 -6 6 8 -8 -8 7 7 -6 6 -6 6 8 8 8 8 -8
He got a custom Continental,he got an Eldorado too
6 -6 6 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -8 -8 -8 -8
He got a thirty two gun in his pocket for fun
6 -6 6 8 8 -8 -8 7
He got a razor in his shoe

Well Friday bout a week ago,Leroy shootin' dice
6 -6 6 8 8 8 8 -8 7 -8 -8 -8 7
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris
-6 8 8 -8 -8 7
And ooh that girl looked nice
-6 6 8 8 -8 -8-8 7 -6 6 -8 -8 -8 7 -6
Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began
-6 8 8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7
and Leroy Brown learned a lesson'bout messin'
-6 6 8 8 8 -8 -8 7
with the wife of a jealous man
refrain:
verse 3.
-6 6 8 8 -8 -8 -8 7
Well the two men took to fightin'
-6 -6 6 8 8 -8 -8 7
And when they pulled them from the floor
8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
-6 6 8 8 8 -8 -8 7
With a couple of pieces gone
