Hey guitar enthusiasts, Lauren Bateman here, and I'm going to show you how to play Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce. Great song. We've got a G chord, we've got an A7 chord, we have a B7 chord, a D7 chord, and a C chord. So quite a few chords on this song. Now this is kind of like a shuffle rhythm, so we're going to be going 1, a 2, a 3, a 4, a 1, a 2, a 3, a 4, all down, up. So down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. Okay, there's an ending on this. The key is it's going to be listening for the lyrics. Okay, we're going to maintain that strumming pattern. It's going to be meaner, D7 over meaner. Junkyard is going to be C, and then dog is going to be G. I'll show you what I mean. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3.
Well, he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown, baddest man
