[Verse 1]
[Em]My
leader told me to [D]jump in the river
The [Em]river was deep and the
[D]weather was winter
[Em]After a sailer very [D]kindly saved me
My [Em]leader told me, you'd [D]better take it easy
I [Em]took it so easy my [D]leader called me lazy
[C][D][E][Em]
[C][D]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
Through the lack of red meat
[D]Everything was getting hazy
[Em]Friends looked at [D]me and said,
Man, you gotta be crazy
[C][D][E][Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]Oh,[D][Em]
[C]oh [D]leader[Em]

[Verse 4]
My [Em]leader said son you'd better
[D]get yourself together
[Em]Nev er mind the [E]fools who know
[D]what we're getting into
But a [Em]forty mile walk would do us
[D]both a world of good
And he [Em]sat down and watched me [D]take off down
the road
[C][D][E][Em][D]
[C][D]

[Verse 5]
[E][Em]
Well, I walked so far my [D]feet began to bleed
If [Em]this was good for me I just
[D]couldn't see it
A motor[Em]ist picked [D]me up and said
Look man, [Em]you must be crazy
[D][C][D][E]
[Em][D]

[Verse 6]
[C]Oh, oh [D]lea[Em]der[D]
[C]Oh, [D]oh lea[Em]der

[Verse 7]
My [Em]leader came to see
me in a [D]hospital bed
[Em]Well at least I really knew that my
[D]leader really cared
[Em]After giving me [D]a second- hand roach
He said [Em]where's your donation man,
It's [D]all for a good cause.
[C][D][E][Em]
[C][D]

[Verse 8]
[Em]
He left me all alone to [D]work the riddle out
But I [Em]just couldn't make
it so [D]I began to shout
They [Em]stuck a hypodermic
deep [D]down into me
Said, [Em]look out nurse I [D]think we
got a loony
[C][D]

[Verse 9]
[Em]
Oh, [C]oh [D]lea[Em]der[D][C][D][E][Em]
Okay baby follow me [E]now

[Verse 13]
