[Gm] [C]
[Gm] [C] [F]
I've been around the world [Gm] a couple of times [C] and maybe more
[Gm] Seen the [C] sights I've had [F] delights on every foreign shore
But when my mates all ask [Gm] me the place that [C] I adore [Gm] I tell [C] them right [F] away
What do we tell them?
Give [Gm] me a home among the gum [C] trees with [Gm] lots of plum [C] trees
[F] A sheep, a [Eb] turk, a [F] kangaroo, a clothesline out the back
[Gm] A veranda [C] out the front [Gm] and an [C] old [F] rocking chair
You can see me in the kitchen
[Gm] Cooking up [C] a roast [Gm] or veg him [C] out on toast
[F] Just you and [Db] me a cup of tea and later on we'll settle [Gm] down and go out on [C] the porch
[Gm] And [C] watch the possums [F] play
[E]
[Gm] Give me a home among the gum [C] trees with [Gm] lots of plum [C] trees
[F] A sheep, a turk, a kangaroo, a clothesline out the back
[Gm] Veranda [C] out the front [Gm] and an [C] old rocking [F] chair
[Bb] There's a safe place up the corner [F] and a Woolies down the street [C] and a brand new place
They've opened [F] up where they regulate the heat
[Bb] But I trade them all tomorrow [F] for a little bush retreat [C] with a cork [G] of Burroughs cork
Give [Gm] me a home among the gum trees with [Gm] lots of plum [C] trees
[D] A sheep, a turk, a [F] kangaroo, a clothesline out the back
[Gm] Veranda [C] out the front [Gm] and an [C] old rocking chair
[D] Some [G] people like their houses [Am] with fences [D] all around
[Am] Others [D] live in [G] mansions and some beneath the ground but me I like the bush
You [Am] know with rabbits [D] running round [Am] and a [D] pumpkin pine [G] out the back
This is your turn
Give me a home [E] among the gum trees with lots of plum trees
A sheep, a turk, a kangaroo, a clothesline out the back
[G] Veranda out the front and an [Bb] old rocking chair
[Gm] Give me a home [Am] among the gum [D] trees [Am] with lots of plum [D] trees
[G] A sheep, a [Bm] turk, a kangaroo, a clothesline out the back
[Am] Veranda [D] out the front [Am] and an [D] old rocking [Bm] [G] chair
