Hi, I'm Ken Deegan.
This next song was a big recording for the late James Croce, Jim Croce, back in 1973,
all about a very suspicious character named Bad, Bad Leroy Brown.
You know how to stop this song?
He is [C] stopping.
Well, [D]
[G] the south side of Chicago [A] is the baddest part of town.
[B] And if you go down there, [C] you better just beware [D] of a man named [G] Leroy Brown.
Now Leroy, more than trouble, [A] you see he stands about six foot four.
[B] All the downtown ladies [C] call him sweet-talk lover, all the men just call [G] him sir.
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown, [Em] the baddest man in the whole dark town.
[B] Madder than [C] old King Kong, and meaner than a [D] junkyard dog.
[Gm] [G] [A] Now they're stopping.
[B] [E] [D]
[G] [A]
[B] [E] [Dm] [Dm] But [G] on Friday, about a week ago, [A] old Leroy was [A] shooting dice.
[B] And at the edge of the fire [C] sat a girl named Doris, [D] and oh, that gal looked nice.
Well, [G] he cast his eyes upon her, [A] and the trouble soon began.
[B] And Leroy Brown [C] learned a lesson about Nessie, the wife of a jealous [Eb] man.
Now [Ab] the two men, they took a flight, and [Bb] when they pulled them from the floor,
[C] well, Leroy looked just [Db] like a jigsaw puzzle [Bbm] with the gospel of Jesus [Ab] God.
And he's bad, bad [Fm] Leroy Brown, the baddest man in the whole dark [C] town.
Madder than [Db] old King Kong, and meaner than a [Ab] junkyard dog.
[C] He was madder than old [Db] King Kong, and meaner than a [Ab] junkyard dog.
