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

There's a Safeway on the corner and a Woolworths down the street
C F
And a new one’s just been opened up where they regulate the heat

But I'd trade them all tomorrow for a little bush retreat
C
Where the kookaburras sing
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
F Dm Gm C
Some people like their houses built with fences all around
Gm C F C
Others live in mansions and some beneath the ground

But me I like the bush you know with lizards running ‘round

And a pumpkin vine out the back

And an old rock-ing chair
