[C] [G] [F] I've been around the world a [Gm] couple of times or [C] maybe more
[Gm] Seen the [C] sights I've had [F] delights on every foreign child
But when my mates all ask me [Gm] the [Em] place that I adore [Gm] I tell [C] them right [F] away
What do we tell them?
Give me a home [Gm] among the country
[C] With [Gm] lots of home [C] trees
[F] A sheep, a turk, a kangaroo, a swan swan out the back
[G] Veranda [C] out the front [Gm] and an [C] old rocking [F] chair
You can see me in the kitchen [Gm] [C] cooking up a roast
[Gm] Or [C] vegemite on toast
[F] Just you and me a cup a day
A light a round we'll settle [Gm] down and guard on [C] the porch
[Gm] And [C] watch the possums play
[N] Give me a [Gm] home among the country
[C] With [Gm] lots of home [C] trees
[F] A sheep, a turk, a kangaroo, a swan swan out the back
[Gm] Veranda [C] out the front [Gm] and an [C] old rocking [F] chair
[Bb] There's a safeways up the corner [F] and a Woolies down the street
[C] And a brand new place they've opened [F] up and they regulate the heat
[Bb] But I'll trade them all tomorrow [F] for a little bush retreat
[C] With a cork [G] of a [N] rosebud
Give me a home [Gm] among the [C] country
[Gm] With lots of home [C] trees
A sheep, a turk, [F] a kangaroo, a swan swan out the back
[Gm] Veranda [C] out the front [Gm] and an [C] old rocking [F] [D] chair
[G] Some people like their [Am] houses with fences [D] all around
[C] Others [D] live in [G] mansions and some beneath the ground
But me I like the bush [Am] you know with rabbits [D] running round
[Am] And a [G] pumpkin vine out the back
[Ab] By yourselves now!
Give me [N] a home among the country
With lots of home trees
A sheep, a [G] turk, a kangaroo, a swan [N] swan out the back
Veranda out the front [G] and an old rocking chair
One more for Steve!
