Home Among the Gum Trees John Williamson
I'v[G]e been around th[Em]e world
A couple of [Am]times or maybe [D7]more
I've [Am]seen the sights, I've [D7]had delights
On [G]every foreign [D7]shore
But [G]when my mates all [Em]ask me
The [Am]place that I [D7]adore
I [Am]tell them [D7]right a[G]way
[G]Give me a [Em]home among the [Am]gumtrees[D7]
With lots of [Am]plum trees
A [G]sheep or two, a k-[D7]kangaroo
A [G]clothesline out the [Em]back
Ve[Am]randah out the [D7]front
And an [Am]old [D7]rocking [G]chair
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
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
There's a [C]Safeways up the corner
And a [G]Woolies down the street
And a [D7]brand new place they've opened up
Where they [G]regulate the heat[G7]
But I'd [C]trade them all tomorrow
For a [G]little bush retreat
Where the [D7]kookaburras call
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
Some people like their houses
With fences all around
Others live in mansions
And some beneath the ground
But me I like the bush you know
With rabbits running round
And a pumpkin vine out the back
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
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
