Chords:
D7 G Em I've been around the world Am D7 A couple of times or maybe more Am D7 I've seen the sights, I've had delights G D7 On every foreign shore G Em But when my mates all ask me Am D7 The place that I adore Am D7 G I tell them right away G Em Am D7 Give me a home among the gumtrees Am With lots of plum trees G D7 A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo G Em A clothesline out the back Am D7 Verandah out the front Am D7 G And an old rocking chair You can see me in the kitchen Cooking up a roast Or Vegemite on toast Just you and me, a cup of tea And later on, we'll settle down And go out on the porch And watch the possums play Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair C There's a Safeways up the corner G And a Woolies down the street D7 And a brand new place they've opened up G G7 Where they regulate the heat C But I'd trade them all tomorrow G For a little bush retreat D7 Where the kookaburras call Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair Some people like their houses With fences all around Others live in mansions And some beneath the ground But me I like the bush you know With rabbits running round And a pumpkin vine out the back Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair
