Big Bad Leroy Brown chords by Queen

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
