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= (x3111x@5)xx2010, 
          1dim = xx1212, 2dim = xx2323  (don't know the names,
                but they're diminished chords)

Refrain:
C (x32010@1)   G7 (320001@1)  C (x32010@1)   G7 (320001@1)        C (x32010@1)       G7 (320001@1)  C (x32010@1)     G7+5Bring (3x3443@1)back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - Yeah!
Bring back, bring back, gotta ring that Leroy Brown - Yeah!

Big bad Leroy Brown, he got no common sense - no, no
Got no brains but he sure got a lot of style
