Six Months In A Leaky Boat chords by Little Birdy

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


VERSE 1:
       E
When I was a young girl, I wanted to sail around the world
          C#m
That's the life for me, living on the sea
      E
Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe
         C#m
The lust of a pioneer will acknowledge no frontier


PRE CHORUS:
  B         E
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
     B                E      C#
Lightning clash, tempers flare 'Round the horn if you dare

CHORUS:
       A
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
A             C#m B E
Six months in a leaky boat


VERSE 2:
   E
Aotearoa, rugged individual
        C#m
Glisten like a pearl at the bottom of the world
        E
The tyranny of distance couldn't stop the cavalier
           C#m
So why should it stop me I'll conquer and stay free


PRE CHORUS:
   B             E
Oh, c'mon all you boys, let's forget and forgive
     B             E      C#m
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
