BRING BACK THAT LEROY BROWN
(Freddie Mercury/Queen. From the albumn _Sheer Heart Attack_.)
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]Bring [G7]back, [C]bring [G7]back, bring [C]back that [G7]Leroy [C]Brown - [G7+5]Yeah!
Bring back, bring back, gotta ring that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Verse:
[C]Bet your bottom dollar [G+]bill you're a [C]playboy - [1dim]yeah, [Am]yeah
[C] [F] [G7] [C] [C] [Dm7] [1dim] [C/E]
Daddy cool with a ninety dollar smile (oooh------------)
[Am]Took my money out of [G#dim]gratitude, and he [Am]git right out of town[C#dim]
Well, I gotta [C]getty up, [B7]steady up, [Bb7]shoot him [A7]down
Gotta [Dm7]hit that [1dim]lat - [G7]i - [C]tude[G7+5] 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
Woo-woo, big bad Leroy [Am] - [E7]Brown![Am] [Am] [2dim] [G7] [G7] [C] [G7+5]
[C]Big Momma Lula Belle,[G7] she had a nervous [C]breakdown
([E7/G#]nervous [Am]breakdown)
[C]Leroy's taken her [G7]honey-chile a[C]way[Em/B] [Am]
But she [F]met him at the [Am]station, put a[Dm7] shotgun to his[Am] head
And un[Dm]less I be mist[F]aken, [B7]this is what she [G7]said:
[C]Big bad, big boy, big bad Leroy Brown,[(C)] [2dim] [Am]
[G7]I'm gonna get that cutie [C]pie [G7]
Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
[C]Big bad caused a [G7]mighty fine sens[C]ation - [2dim]yeah y[Am]eah
Gone and [C]got himself ele[G7]cted preside[C]nt
(we [Dm7]want) [1dim]Le - [C/E]roy f[F]or president[A7] [D7] [G7]
[C]Next time, you gotta hit a bitty baddy weather
[(C)]This time, like a shimmy shammy leather
He's a [Dm7]big boy, [Am]bad boy, Leroy
I [C]don't care [G/B]where you [Am]get him [1dim]from
[C]Bring that Leroy Brown [B7]back - [C]want [G7]him b[C]ack.
