[Verse 1]
A F#m Bm E
I've been around the world a couple of times or maybe more
Bm E A E
I've seen the sights, I've had delights on every foreign shore
A F#m Bm E
But when my friends all ask me ‘bout the place that I adore
Bm E A
I tell them right away
[Chorus]
A F#m Bm E
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Bm E
With lots of plum trees
A E
B sheep or two, a kangaroo
A F#m
B clothes line out the back
Bm E
Verandah out the front
Bm E A
And an old rocking chair
[Verse 2]
A F#m Bm E
I’ll be standing in the kitchen cooking up a roast
Bm E A E
With Vegemite on toast. Just you and me, a cup of tea
A F#m Bm E
And later on, we'll settle down beside the hitching post
Bm E A
And watch the possums play
[Chorus]
A F#m Bm E
Give me a home among the gumtrees

D A
There's a Safeway on the corner and a Woolworths down the street
E A
And a new one’s just been opened up where they regulate the heat
D A
But I'd trade them all tomorrow for a little bush retreat
E
Where the kookaburras sing
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
A F#m Bm E
Some people like their houses built with fences all around
Bm E A E
Others live in mansions and some beneath the ground
A F#m Bm E
But me I like the bush you know with lizards running ‘round
Bm E A
And a pumpkin vine out the back
[Chorus]

Give me a home among the gumtree-ees

With lots of plum tree-ees

B sheep or two, a kangaroo

B sheep or two, a kangaroo
A F#m
B clothes line out the back
Bm E
Verandah out the front
Bm E A
And an old rock-ing chair
