Verse 1:
      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
     F
But when my mates all ask me
     Gm           C
The place that I adore
  Gm        C        F
I tell them right away      "what do we tell em?"
 
Chorus:
                        Gm        C
Give me a home among the gumtrees
             Gm         C
With lots of plum trees
   F
a sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
  F
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
 F
And later on, we'll settle down
     Gm           C
And go out on the porch
    Gm                F
And watch the possums play 
 
Chorus:
                        Gm        C
Give me a home among the gumtrees
             Gm         C
With lots of plum trees
   F
a sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
  F
a clothesline out the back
 Gm               C
Verandah out the front
       Gm   C       F
And an old rocking chair 
 
Verse 3:
          Bb
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
        Bb
But I'd trade them all tomorrow
      F
For a single bush retreat
          C     Gm    C
Where the kookaburras call          kookakakakakakkaakakkakaaa
 
Chorus:
F                       Gm        C
Give me a home among the gumtrees
             Gm         C
With lots of plum trees
   F
a sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
  F
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
    G
But me I like the bush you know
     Am                  D
With rabbits running round
      Am       D           G
And a pumpkin vine out the back 
 
Chorus: (just singing)
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

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