[Verse 1]

       A                E
Well I knew a boy named Willie Brown
D              A
He was a lover of our town
                     D
Wherever he went the girls fell down
    E                A
And cried for Willie Brown
E                  A
Crazy about Willie Brown

[Verse 2]

A                 E
Tall and dark and lean and long
D                 A
Big as a bull and twice as strong
                       D
He loved the girls and turned them down
  E                A
A sheik was Willie Brown
E              A
Dashing Willie Brown

[Bridge]

       D                        A
Well a new girl moved in on our street
E                    A
We knew that she and Will would meet
                 D
But then when we inquired around
E                    A
She'd not met Willie Brown
           E            A
She said, "who's Willie Brown?"

[Verse 3]

A                      E
The prettiest girl you ever saw
D               A
Head to toe without a flaw
                D
When we met one night in town
    E               A
She fell for Willie Brown
   E                A
In love with Willie Brown

[Verse 4]

A                        E
But the trouble was that we all knew
D                A
Willie Brown was falling too
                       D
Then he announced when June comes around
       E            A
She'll marry Willie Brown
         E                A
She's in love with Willie Brown

[Bridge]

    D                  A
But then the girl denied it all
    E                    A
She said, "its true that I did fall
                        D
But he took my love for granted now
   E                A
To heck with Willie Brown
   E            A
Conceited Willie Brown"

[Verse 5]

A                E
Willie Brown was shocked to learn
     D               A
That his love had at last been spurned
                D
So on a hill outside of town
   E             A
We buried Willie Brown
   E             A
We buried Willie Brown
