G
Well, the south side of Chicago
A7
Is the baddest part of town.
B7
And if you go down there
C D7 G
You better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
A7
You see he stand about 'bout six foot four.
B7 C
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover."
D7 G
All the men just call him "sir."
Chorus:
G
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
A7
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
B7 C
Badder than old King Kong
D C
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Now, Leroy, he a gambler, and he likes his fancy clothes.
And he likes to wave diamond rings in front of everybody's nose.
He got a custom Continental. He got an Eldorado too.
He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun. He got a razor in his shoe.
[Chorus]
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago, Leroy's shootin' dice.
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris and oh, that girl look
nice.
Well, he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began.
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous
man.
[Chorus]
G
Well, the two men took to fightin'
A7
And when they pulled them from the floor,
B7 C D7 G
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.
Out Chorus:
B7 C
Yes, you were badder than old King Kong
D C G
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
At least that's
the way I do it,
Yours etc.,
SubGenius
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JIM CROCE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
