 E    A    E        A     E
Le-Leah, Leah! Le-Leah, Leah!
       B7
Here I go,
          A          E            B7
From the hut to the boat, to the sea
     D# E
For Leah.

    E               F             E
Ah-hah, I gotta go diving in the bay,
       E                     F                  E
Gotta get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today,
    A                          E
To make a pretty necklace for Leah,
D# B7 E
Le-E- ah.

      E                 F                  E
I've gotta go deep and find the ones just right
      E                     F       E
I'll bet my Leah'll be surprised tonight.
       A                               E
I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me,
D# B7 E  C
Le-E- ah.

     F                    A#           F
But something's wrong, I cannot move around
    F                   A#        F
My leg is caught, it's pulling me down,
          A#
But I'll keep my hand shut tight,
             F
for if they find me,
                  G         C7 F
They'll find the pearl for Leah.

     F                  F#       F
And now it's over, I'm awake at last
                    F#                F
Old heartaches and memories from the past.
        A#                          F
It was just another dream about my lost love,
       E C7 F
About Le-E-ah.

F    A#   F        A#    F
Le-Leah, Leah! Le-Leah, Leah!
       C7
Here I go,
         A#                F           C7
Back to sleep, and in my dreams, I'll dream
      E F   E F   E  Fsus4 F
With Leah, Leah, Le-aaa - ah!
