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

Verandah out the front
Dm G C
And an old rocking chair

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