Bring Back That Leroy Brown

Brian actually plays this on an ukele banjo. This is only an approximate

transcription for guitar. Gotta play it in that fast, Dixie style. (Or is it

Charleston? Anyways....) The *really* tough part, where you'll need the most

practice, is the C, B7, Bb7, A7, Dm7, C#dim, G7, C, G7+5 run. (Whoosh!) Once you

can play that, the rest of the song is a cinch.

Chords: G7+5 = xx1001, G#dim = xx0101,

C/E = xx2010,

1dim = xx1212, 2dim = xx2323 (don't know the names,

but they're diminished chords)

Refrain:

C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7+5

Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!

Bring back, bring back, gotta ring that Leroy Brown - Yeah!

Verse:

C G+ C 1dim Am

Bet your bottom dollar bill you're a playboy - yeah, yeah

C F G7 C C Dm7 1dim C/E

Daddy cool with a ninety dollar smile (oooh------------)

Am G#dim Am C#dim

Took my money out of gratitude, and he git right out of town

C B7 Bb7 A7

Well, I gotta getty up, steady up, shoot him down

Dm7 1dim G7 C G7+5

Gotta hit that lat - i - tude babe.

Big bad Leroy Brown, he got no common sense - no, no

Got no brains but he sure got a lot of style

Can't stand no more in this here jail

I gotta rid myself of this sentence

Gotta get out of the heat, get into the shade

gotta get me there dead or alive, babe!

C

Woo-woo, big bad Leroy, woo-ooo

Am E7 Am Am 2dim G7 G7 C G7+5

Woo-woo, big bad Leroy - Brown!

C G7 C

Big Momma Lula Belle, she had a nervous breakdown

E7/G# Am

(nervous breakdown)

C G7 C Em/B Am

Leroy's taken her honey-chile away

F Am Dm7 Am

But she met him at the station, put a shotgun to his head

Dm F B7 G7

And unless I be mistaken, this is what she said:

C (C) 2dim Am

Big bad, big boy, big bad Leroy Brown,

G7 C G7

I'm gonna get that cutie pie

Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!

C G7 C 2dim Am

Big bad caused a mighty fine sensation - yeah yeah

C G7 C

Gone and got himself elected president

Dm7 1dim C/E F A7 D7 G7

(we want) Le - roy for president

C

Next time, you gotta hit a bitty baddy weather

(C)

This time, like a shimmy shammy leather

Dm7 Am

He's a big boy, bad boy, Leroy

C G/B Am 1dim

I don't care where you get him from

C B7 C G7 C

Bring that Leroy Brown back - want him back.
