verse 1
F
I've been around the world

A couple of times or maybe more

On every foreign shore

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

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
verse 2 (same as verse 1)
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

There's a Safeways up the corner

For a little bush retreat

Where the kookaburras call kookakakakakakkaakakkakaaa

With rabbits running round
