Queen – Bring Back That Leroy Brown tab

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.
