Queen Bring Back That Leroy Brown Lyrics

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:
Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Bring back, bring back, gotta ring that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Verse:
+ 1dim
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
1dim +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!
Woo-woo, big bad Leroy, woo-ooo
Woo-woo, big bad Leroy - Brown!
Big Momma Lula Belle, she had a nervous breakdown
(nervous breakdown)
Leroy's taken her honey-chile away
But she met him at the station, put a shotgun to his head
And unless I be mistaken, this is what she said:
(im
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!
2dim
Big bad caused a mighty fine sensation - yeah yeah
Gone and got himself elected president
1dim
(we want) Le - roy for president
Next time, you gotta hit a bitty baddy weather
This time, like a shimmy shammy leather
He's a big boy, bad boy, Leroy
1dim
I don't care where you get him from
Bring that Leroy Brown back - want him back.
