Vox on the 3 on “south”

Well, the southGside of Chicago

Is the baA7ddest part of town

And if you B7go down there

You better Cjust beware of a D7man name of CLeroy GBrown D7

Now, GLeroy more than trouble

You see he A7stand about six foot four

All the dB7owntown ladies call him treetop lCover

All the D7men just Ccall him Gsir D7

Now, GLeroy, he a gambler

And he A7like his fancy clothes

And he B7like to wave his Cdiamond rings

In front of D7everyCbody’s Gnose D7

He got a Gcustom Continental

He got an A7El Dorado too

He got a B7thirty-two gun in his Cpocket for fun

He got a D7razor Cin his Gshoe D7

Well, GFriday ‘bout a week ago

A7Leroy shootin’ dice

And at the B7edge of the bar sat a Cgirl name of Doris

And D7oh, that Cgirl look Gnice D7

Well, he Gcast his eyes upon her

And the A7trouble soon began

And B7Leroy Brown, he learned a Clesson ‘bout messin’

With the D7wife of a Cjealous Gman D7

I usually skip this chorus... we get it, he’s bad.

Quiet, let ring

Well, the Gtwo men took to fightin’

And when they A7pulled them from the floor

B7Leroy looked like a Cjigsaw puzzle

With a D7couple of Cpieces Ggone D7
