Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for [Bm]me, living on the sea
Spirit of [D]a sailor,
circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pion[Bm]eer,
will acknowledge no frontier
I [A]re member you by,
thunder[D]clap in the sky
Lightning [A]flash, tempers flare,
'round the [D]horn if [Bm]you dare
I just spent [G]six months in a leaky boat

[Interlude 1]
Lucky just to keep afloat
[D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Aotearoa, rugged [D]individual
Glisten like a [Bm]pearl,
at the bottom of the world
The tyranny of [D]distance,
didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop [Bm]me,
I'll conquer and stay free
Ah [Asus4]c' mon al[A]l you lads,
let's for[D]get and forgive
There's a [A]world to explore,
tales to [D]tell back on [Bm]shore
I just spent [G]six months in a leaky boat

[Interlude 2]
Six months in a leaky boat
[Em][Bm][G][D][A][D][G][D]
[G][D][A][D][G][D][G][D][A]
[D][Bm]
[D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
Ship- wrecked [A]love can be cruel
Don't be [D]fooled by her kind
There's a [Asus4]wind in m[A]y sails
Will pro[D]tect and pre[Bm]vail
I just spent [G]six months in a leaky boat

[Outro 1]
Nothing to it leaky boat.
