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"

[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]

Leah, Leah

[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
