Split Enz – Six Months In A Leaky Boat (Guitar)

[Verse 1]

             D
When I was a young man 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 fronteir

[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

             Gmaj7
I just spent six months in a leaky boat

                            D   A   D
Lucky just to keep afloat

[Verse 2] Aotearoa, rugged individual Glisten like a pearl at the bottom of the world The tyrany of distance didn't stop the cavalier So why should it stop me? I'll conquer and stay free [Chorus 2] Ah come on all you lads, let's forget and forgive There's a world to explore, tales to tell back on shore I just spent six months in a leaky boat Six months in a leaky boat [Chorus 3] Shipwrecked love can be cruel, don't be fooled by her kind There's a wind in my sails, will protect and prevail I just spent six months in a leaky boat Nothing to it, leaky boat [Outro] D
