When I was a ^Dyoung man I wanted to sail 'round the world That's the life for ^Bmme, living on the sea Spirit of a ^Dsailor circumnavigates the globe Lust of pio^Bmneer will acknowledge no fronteir

CHORUS 1:

I re^Amember you by thunder^Dclap in the sky Lightning ^Aflash tempers flare, Round the ^DHorn if you ^Bmdare I just spent ^Gmaj7six months in a leaky boat Lucky just to keep afloat ^D ^A ^D

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 \\\\ John Kean OO | ~~~~~~~~~ < ) keanj@agresearch.cri.nz \/ | '--
