Six Months In A Leaky Boat - Split Enz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From 'Time and Tide' and 'Waiata'.
Transcribed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).
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
SOLO:
(Circus bit, then verse chords)
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:
Dm to fade
