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


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

Ship-wrecked love can be cruel, don't be fooled by her kind
          B                      E           C#m
There's a wind in my sails to protect and prevail
