The original was by the Shangri-Las. This is from memory, so apologies if it's
not perfect!

Db
Is she really going out with him? Well, there she is! Let's ask her!
Betty - is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing? Uh-huh!
Gee, it must be great riding with him. Is he picking you up after
Cb Ab
school today? Uh-huh!
By the way, where d'you meet him?
Gb
I met him at the candy store
Fm
He turned around and smiled at me - you get the picture (yes, we see!)
Ab Db
That's when I fell for - the leader of the pack.
Db
My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
Db Cb
They said he came from the wrong side of town (what d'you mean when you say
Ab
that he came from the wrong side of town?)
Gb
They told me he was bad
Fm
But I knew he was sad
Ab Db
That's why I fell for - the leader of the pack.
Db
One day my dad said "find someone new"
Db Cb Ab
I had to tell my Jim we were through
Gb
He stood there and asked me why
Fm
But all I could do was cry
Ab
I'm sorry I hurt you - the leader of the pack.
(SPOKEN:)
Bbm
He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
And as he left me on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
Bbm F (no chord)
But whether he heard, I'll never know (look out, look out, look out, look out,
look out, look out!)
D
I felt so helpless - what could I do?
D C A
Remembering all the things we'd been through
G
At school they all stop and stare
Fsharp minor
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
A D
I'll never forget you - the leader of the pack.
D
(No, no no no no no no) The leader of the pack - now he's gone (repeat to fade)
F#m (test!)
