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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
            A                           D
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]
             G
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
                        D A D
Nothin' to it leaky boat
