	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 pio	neer will acknowledge no fronteir

CHORUS 1:

	A	D
I re	member you by thunder	clap 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
