Jim Croce - Bad Bad Leroy Brown

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 .
