[G]
I've [Em] been around the world a [Am] couple of times or [D] maybe more
[Am] I've seen the [D] sights, I've had [G] delights on every [D] foreign shore
[G] But when my [Em] friends all ask me [Am] about the place that [D] I adore
[Am] I tell [D] them right [G] away
[Gb] [G] Give [Em] me a home [Am] among the gum [D] trees
With [Am] lots of plum [D] trees
[G] A sheep or [D] two, a [G] kangaroo, a clothesline [Em] out the back
[Am] Veranda [D] out the front [Am] and an old [D] rocking [G] chair
I'll be standing [Em] in the kitchen [A] a-cookin' up [D] a roast
[Am] With veggie [D]-mite on toast, [G] just you and [D] me a cup of [G] tea
And later [Em] on we'll settle [Am] down beside the [D] hitching post
[Am] And watch [D] the [G] possums play
Give [Em] me a home [Am] among the gum [D] trees
With [Am] lots of plum [D] trees
[G] A sheep or [D] two, a [G] kangaroo, a clothesline [Em] out the back
[Am] Veranda [D] out the front [Am] and an old [D] rocking [G] chair
[C] There's a safeway on the corner [G] and a Woolworths down the streets
[D] And a new one's just been opened up [G] where they regulate the heat
[C] But I'd trade them all tomorrow [G] for a simple bush retreat
[D] Where the cockaburras sing
[G] Give [Em] me a home [Am] among the gum [D] trees
With [Am] lots of plum [D] trees
[G] A sheep or [D] two, a [G] kangaroo, a clothesline [Em] out the back
