Six Months In A Leaky Boat - Split Enz

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From 'Time and Tide' and 'Waiata'.

Transcribed by John Kean ([email protected]).


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)
|D |G |D |G |G A|
|D |G |D |G |G A|pause|
(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 |F |G |B |
(to fade)
