But we know you haven't.
Because we've got it down here.
We've got the pioneering spirit.

And [Bm] that's no pioneer,
And that is no frontier,
I'll be [A] there.
You are, [D] from the mountains,

Let the spread, round the world.
Leaky, [Bm] leaky, leaky, [G] leaky, leaky boat.
Can't seem not to keep my foot.
[D]
You are, [Bm] glistening like a gold,
Lost by the world,
Here [D] in the ocean,

So why should [Bm] some keep me?

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.
