                                       G              C   
I've been around the world a couple of times or maybe more
G                    C               F                  
Seen the sights I've had delights on every foreign shore
                                 G            C    
But when my mates all ask me the place that I adore
  G         C         
I tell them right away
F                  
What do we tell 'em
                         Gm7      
Give me a home among the gum trees
C            Gm7  C    
With lots of plum trees
  F                        
A sheep or two a kakangaroo
                            Gm7              C    
A clothes line out the back verandah out the front
    Gm7    C       F    
And an old rocking chair
                              G            C    
You can see me in the kitchen cooking up a roast
G              C          F                      
Or Vegemite on toast just you and me a cup of tea
                                   G             C    
And later on we'll settle down and go out on the porch
G             C       F   
And watch the possums play
          F              Gm7 C    
Give me a home among the gum trees
             Gm7  C    
With lots of plum trees
F          D               
A sheep or two a kakangaroo
  F                         Gm7              C    
A clothes line out the back verandah out the front
       Gm7 C7      F    
And an old rocking chair
          Bb                           F                      
There's a Safeways up the corner and a Woolies down the street
      C                                            F                
And a brand new place they've opened up where they regulate the heat
        Bb                            F                  
But I'd trade them all tomorrow for a little bush retreat
          C           G C   
Where the kookaburras ■ call
     C                            
Give me a home among the gum trees
                  C    
With lots of plum trees
           F               
A sheep or two a kakangaroo
                            C                     
A clothes line out the back verandah out the front
       Gm7 C            
And an old rocking chair
   F  D 
Up we go


[Bridge]
            G                      D                
Some people like their houses with fences all around
                                 G                 
Others live in mansions and some beneath the ground
                                             Am      D     
But me I like the bush you know with rabbits running 'round
      D                        
And a pumpkin vine out the back
        G        
This is your turn


[Chorus]
     G                            
Give me a home among the gum trees
                  G    
With lots of plum trees
           G               
A sheep or two a kakangaroo
          G                                       
A clothes line out the back verandah out the front
                   D    
And an old rocking chair
G                            D    
Give me a home among the gum trees
                  Am    D7
With lots of plum trees ■ 
           G               
A sheep or two a kakangaroo
                            D                     
A clothes line out the back verandah out the front
       Am  D       C     D G
And an old rocking chair ■ ■
