B X MONTHS IN A LEAKY BOAT
[Verse 1]
D
When I was a young boy I wanted to sail 'round the world
Bm
That's the life for me, living on the sea
D
Spirit of a sailor circumnavigates the globe
Bm
Lust of pioneer will acknowledge no frontier
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A D
I remember you by thunderclap in the sky
A D Bm
Lightning flash tempers flare, Round the Horn if you dare
[Chorus 1]
G
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
D A D
Lucky just to keep afloat
[Verse 2]
D
Aotearoa, rugged individual
Bm
Glisten like a pearl at the bottom of the world
D
The tyrany of distance didn't stop the cavalier
Bm
So why should it stop me? I'll conquer and stay free
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A D
So come on all you lads, let's forget and forgive
A D Bm
There's a world to explore, tales to tell back on shore
[Chorus 2]
G
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
D A D
Six months in a leaky boat
[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 3]

Shipwrecked love can be cruel, don't be fooled by her kind
A D Bm
There's a wind in my sails, will protect and prevail
[Chorus 3]

I just spent six months in a leaky boat
D A D
Nothin' to it leaky boat
