After searching for this tab myself before, I found that 1 person had it down 
pretty well, but the only flaw was that he failed to mention that whenever he 
plays the G, and A7 chords, he does a shuffle. So, you have to play barre chords. 
When he plays the G, you switch your fingers down a string to a C barre chord in a 
shuffle rhythm, and when he plays the A7, you switch your fingers down to a D 
barre chord in a shuffle rhythm. So it will be G G C C G G C C, etc.

Verse 1
		G (320003@1)Well, the south side of Chicago
		A7 (x02020@1)is the baddest part of town.
		   B7 (x21202@1)And if you go down there
		    C (x32010@1)    D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)you better just beware of aman (x02210@1)named Leroy Brown.
		G (320003@1)Now, Leroy more than trouble,
		A7 (x02020@1)you see he stand about six foot four,
		B7 (x21202@1)	   C (x32010@1)all the downtown ladies call him treetop lover,
		 D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)all the men just call him sir.


Chorus	   G (320003@1)And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
	    A7 (x02020@1)the baddest man in the whole damn town.
