Song
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, Ebdim7, G7, C, G7#5 run. (Whoosh!) Once you
can play that, the rest of the song is a cinch.
G7#5 xx1001
Ddim7 xx0101
Ebdim7 xx1212
Edim7 xx2323
C/E xx2010
Refrain
Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Bring back, bring back, gotta ring that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Verse
Bet your bottom dollar bill you're a playboy - yeah, yeah
Daddy cool with a ninety dollar smile (oooh------------)
Took my money out of gratitude, and he git right out of town
Well, I gotta getty up, steady up, shoot him down
Gotta hit that lat - i - tude babe
Refrain
Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Bring back, bring back, gotta ring that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Verse
Big bad Leroy Brown, he got no common sense - no, no
C F G7 C (C Dm7 Ebdim C/E)
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, step into the shade
gotta get me there dead or alive, babe!
Woo-woo, big bad Leroy, woo-ooo
Woo-woo, big bad Leroy - Brown!
Refrain
Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Bring back, bring back, gotta ring that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Big Momma Lulu Belle, she had a nervous breakdown
(nervous breakdown)
Leroy's takin' her honey-chile away
But she met him down at the station, put a shotgun to his head
And unless I be mistaken, this is what she said:
C (C) Edim7 Am
Big bad, big boy, big bad Leroy Brown,
I'm gonna get that cutie pie
Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Big bad caused a mighty fine sensation - yeah yeah
Gone and got himself elected president
Dm7 Ebdim7 C/E F (A7 D7 G7)
(we want) Le - roy for president
Next time, you gotta hit a bitty baddy weather
(C)
This time, like a shimmy shammy leather
He's a big boy, bad boy, Leroy
I don't care where you get him from
Bring that Leroy Brown back - want him back
