[Verse 1]
C
Well, I came to on the beach
Somebody pushing up and down on my chest
F
I was coughing salty water
C
Up above me, Leah looking mighty distressed
G
She said, "Baby, you’re so lucky
F C
You nearly went to your final rest"
C
Well, my hand was clenched
I was still holding that pearl so tight
F
When they prised my fingers open
C
Leah’s dark eyes opened up so wide
G
I heard her say, "I love you, baby
F C
Oh, my heart is nearly bursting my side"
[Chorus]
C F C
Leah, Leah
F C
Leah
F G C
Leah
[Verse 2]
C
Now Leah’s really mine
We got a hut and a boat by the sea
F
And every Saturday night
C
She wears that pearl for everybody to see
G
She says, "This is my man
F C
Look at what he did for me"
[Chorus]
C F C
Leah, Leah
F C
Leah
F G C

[Verse 3]
C
Now I’m working in the cannery
Hosing down the floor for her old man
F
And I’m hoping I get used to it
C
'Cause Leah's got a ten year plan
G
She’s hidden my snorkel
F G
Says I’m never going diving again
[Chorus]
C F C
Leah, Leah
F C
Leah
F G C
Leah
[Outro]

Leah, Leah

Leah, Leah

Leah, Leah
