>Twisted Sister did a great version from a male perspective,
>but I believe the original was from a female perspective.
The original was by the Shangri-Las. This is from memory, so apologies if it's
not perfect!
(SPOKEN:)
C#
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
B Ab
school today? Uh-huh!
By the way, where d'you meet him?
F#
I met him at the candy store
Fm
He turned around and smiled at me - you get the picture (yes, we see!)
Ab C#
That's when I fell for - the leader of the pack.
C#
My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
C# B
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?)
F#
They told me he was bad
Fm
But I knew he was sad
Ab C#
That's why I fell for - the leader of the pack.
C#
One day my dad said "find someone new"
C# B Ab
I had to tell my Jim we were through
F#
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!)
