F  | Gm | C 
Gm | C  

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F     F
 I've been around the world
            Gm             C
A couple of times or maybe more
     Gm                    C
I've seen the sights, I've had delights
   F
On every foreign shore
But when my mates all ask me
    Gm            C
The place that I adore
  Gm        C
I tell them right away
F
What do we tell them?
                         Gm      C
Give me a home among the gumtrees

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
             Gm        C
With lots of plum trees
  F
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
  Gm             C
Verandah out the front
       Gm  C            F
And an old rocking chair

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        F
You can see me in the kitchen
Gm                C
Cooking up a roast
   Gm          C
Or Vegemite on toast
     F
Just you and me, a cup of tea
And later on, we'll settle down
    Gm                  C
And mull up on the porch
Gm              C           F
  And watch the possums play
                         Gm      C
Give me a home among the gumtrees

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
             Gm        C
With lots of plum trees
  F
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
  Gm             C
Verandah out the front
       Gm  C            F F7
And an old rocking chair

[Verse 3]
---------------------
          A#
There's a Safeways up the corner
      F
And a Woolies down the street
      C
And a brand new place they've opened up
           F
Where they regulate the heat
        A#
But I'd trade them all tomorrow
      F
For a little bush retreat
          C    G7     C
Where the kookaburras call
Kook-kook-kook-kook
                         Gm      C
Give me a home among the gumtrees

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
             Gm        C
With lots of plum trees
  F
A bong or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
  Gm             C
Verandah out the front
       Gm  C            F D
And an old rocking chair

[Verse 4]
---------------------
     G
Some people like their houses
     Am          D
With fences all around
Am                D
Others live in mansions
    G
And some beneath the ground
But me I like the bush you know
     Am              D
With rabbits running round
      Am      D            G
And a pumpkin vine out the back
                         Am      D
Give me a home among the gumtrees

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
             Am        D
With lots of plum trees
  G
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
  Am             D
Verandah out the front
       Am  D            G
And an old rocking chair
                         Am      D
Give me a home among the gumtrees
             Am        D
With lots of plum trees
  G
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
  Am             D
Verandah out the front
       Am  D       G    C G D G
And an old rocking chair
