Six months we've been in this leaky boat here.
You people up there in the Northern Hemisphere, you think you've got it all.
But we know you haven't.
Because we've got it down here.

And [Bm] that's no pioneer,
And that is no frontier,
I'll be [A] there.

Leaky, [Bm] leaky, leaky, [G] leaky, leaky boat.
Can't seem not to keep my foot.

You are, [Bm] glistening like a gold,

Let's [D] forget and forgive.

To be blessed for,

So there's got to be something here that's a good,
it's a pretty rock and roll [Em] sort of city.
I mean, a lot of good music comes out of here.
[D] In the sky,
[Bm]
You're a [D]
[Bm]
leaky, [A] Shivering blood.
So why should some keep me?
Be cool, [D] don't be cruel,
My work, I,
[A] There's a way,
That my soul,
Will forget,
After a,
[G] Deep, deep bone.
I think [E] [D] we're [F#] a bunch of originals really,
and a lot of New Zealanders are.
I mean, New Zealanders were the
