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

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