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

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