[Verse 1]
E C#m F#m B
I've been around the world a couple of times or maybe more
F#m B E B
I've seen the sights, I've had delights on every foreign shore
E C#m F#m B
But when my friends all ask me ‘bout the place that I adore
F#m B E
I tell them right away
[Chorus]
E C#m F#m B
Give me a home among the gumtrees
F#m B
With lots of plum trees

F# sheep or two, a kangaroo
E C#m
F# clothes line out the back
F#m B
Verandah out the front
F#m B E
And an old rocking chair
[Verse 2]
E C#m F#m B
I’ll be standing in the kitchen cooking up a roast
F#m B E B
With Vegemite on toast. Just you and me, a cup of tea
E C#m F#m B
And later on, we'll settle down beside the hitching post
F#m B E
And watch the possums play
[Chorus]

Give me a home among the gumtrees

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

Give me a home among the gumtrees

[Verse 4]
E C#m F#m B
Some people like their houses built with fences all around
F#m B E B
Others live in mansions and some beneath the ground
E C#m F#m B
But me I like the bush you know with lizards running ‘round
F#m B E
And a pumpkin vine out the back
[Chorus]
E C#m F#m B
Give me a home among the gumtree-ees
F#m B
With lots of plum tree-ees

F# clothes line out the back
F#m B
Verandah out the front
F#m B E
And an old rock-ing chair
