[Verse 1]
G Em Am D
I've been around the world a couple of times or maybe more
Am D G D
I've seen the sights, I've had delights on every foreign shore
G Em Am D
But when my friends all ask me ‘bout the place that I adore
Am D G
I tell them right away
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Am D
With lots of plum trees
G D
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
G Em
A clothes line out the back
Am D
Verandah out the front
Am D G
And an old rocking chair
[Verse 2]
G Em Am D
I’ll be standing in the kitchen cooking up a roast
Am D G D
With Vegemite on toast. Just you and me, a cup of tea
G Em Am D
And later on, we'll settle down beside the hitching post
Am D G
And watch the possums play
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Am D
With lots of plum trees
G D
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
G Em
A clothes line out the back
Am D
Verandah out the front
Am D G
And an old rocking chair
[Bridge]
C G
There's a Safeway on the corner and a Woolworths down the street
D G
And a new one’s just been opened up where they regulate the heat
C G
But I'd trade them all tomorrow for a little bush retreat
D
Where the kookaburras sing
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Am D
With lots of plum trees
G D
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
G Em
A clothes line out the back
Am D
Verandah out the front
Am D G
And an old rocking chair

[Verse 4]
G Em Am D
Some people like their houses built with fences all around
Am D G D
Others live in mansions and some beneath the ground
G Em Am D
But me I like the bush you know with lizards running ‘round
Am D G
And a pumpkin vine out the back
[Chorus]
G Em Am D
Give me a home among the gumtree-ees
Am D
With lots of plum tree-ees
G D
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
G Em
A clothes line out the back
Am D
Verandah out the front
Am D G
And an old rocking chair
G Em Am D
Give me a home among the gumtree-ees
Am D
With lots of plum tree-ees
G D
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
G Em
A clothes line out the back
Am D
Verandah out the front
Am D G
And an old rock-ing chair
