Intro:    (# sung a Capella #)
       O Leon, O Leon, O Leon, Wellahiya

D                      A         D
Out on the water I can hear them call
G          D/F#     Asus4   A
I feel the rhythm inside of me
D                            A       D
This is the moment I've been waiting for
         G           D/F#         Asus4
When I'm hearing the drums in the night
A        G          D/F#     Asus4
When I'm seeing the river of light
      D
Hey, hey
 
 
                       A      D
Out on the water it's another world
G          D/F#    Asus4        G - A - D
I feel the power inside of me
                             A      D
The flame is here and now it has to burn
        G            D/F#      Asus4
You can live but you cannot survive
         G             D/F#     Asus4
And it's something you cannot deny
       D                           G
To the waiting heart (this waiting heart)
       A            D              G
To the waiting heart (this waiting heart)
 
 
        A       D            A       D 
Oh, I'm holding on, I'm just holding on
A/G     D/F#     Asus4
Holding on, Wellahiya
A       D            A       D
Holding on, I'm just holding on
A/G     D/F#     Asus4
Holding on, Wellahiya
 
 
    A       D        A/C#       Bm  A
And maybe tonight (tonight I'll go)
        G           D/F#        Em7          Asus4
I'll go down to the river where my love will be
A    D          A/C#   Bm   A
This time (this time I know)
         G          D/F#                 Em7   Asus4
She will lay down beside me, 'cause everything comes____
       A            D              G
To the waiting heart (this waiting heart)
       A            D              G
To the waiting heart (this waiting heart)
      D
Hey, hey
 
     Saxophone Break: D A D G D  A D A D G D A 
 
      D
Hey, hey
 
 
D                      A         D
Out on the water I can hear them call
G          D/F#     Asus4      G - A - D
I feel the rhythm inside of me
                             A       D
This is the moment I've been waiting for
      G             D/F#      Asus4
It is here, now I'm breaking away
         G            D/F#        Asus4
And it's fortune that favours the brave
        D             Bm - A - G
And the waiting heart
        A            D              G
Oh, the waiting heart (this waiting heart)
        A            D              G
Oh, the waiting heart (this waiting heart)
          A            D              G
Yeah, the waiting heart (this waiting heart)
        A            D              C G D 
Oh this waiting heart (this waiting heart)
