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 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.
