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

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