[Verse 1]
           A
Since the days of old
            A
There's a story told
      Dm                   A
'Bout Leila, the queen of Sheba.
         A
She was wise and kind
        A
To the good in mind
     E               Am
Of those who came to see her.

[Interlude]
E   Am   E   Am

[Verse 2]
           A
You could hear a dance
         A
We wore golden bells
     Dm             A
And symbols on her fingers.
         A
And the night turned bright
          A
With the silver light
        E                Am
Of her memory that still lingers.

[Interlude]
E   Am   E   Am

[Chorus]
 E           E          Am            Am
Leila Leila Leila Leila lala Leila la lala
 E           E          Am            Am
Leila Leila Leila Leila lala Leila la lala
 E                  A
Leila the queen of Sheba.

[Verse 3]
          A
When she ruled her land
         A
She made one command
     Dm                   A
The rich should help the poor.
      A
In return for that
            A
You'll get something back
        E              Am
Which pleases you much more.

[Interlude]
E   Am   E   Am

[Verse 4]
           A
She was a famous queen
       A
Living in a dream
   Dm           A
Of mystery and passion.
         A
And of things she said
          A
You will never get...
        E         Am
Get a wrong - impression.

[Bridge]
     Dm
Our story ends
    Am
But she lives on
   Dm               Am
Leila the queen of Sheiba.
          Dm
When you close your eyes
      A
And think of her
     E            A
And you - can be with her.

[Outro]
 E           E          Am            Am
Leila Leila Leila Leila lala Leila la lala
 E           E          Am            Am
Leila Leila Leila Leila lala Leila la lala
 E                  A
Leila the queen of Sheba.
