D7
   G               Em
I've been around the world
            Am             D7
A couple of times or maybe more
     Am                    D7
I've seen the sights, I've had delights
   G             D7
On every foreign shore
    G                 Em 
But when my mates all ask me
    Am           D7
The place that I adore
  Am        D7     G
I tell them right away 
G         Em             Am       D7               
Give me a home among the gumtrees
             Am        
With lots of plum trees
  G                 D7
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
  G                   Em   
A clothesline out the back
  Am             D7
Verandah out the front
       Am  D7      G  
And an old rocking 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 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_williamson/home_among_the_gum_trees_crd_ver_2.html ]
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 

          C
There's a Safeways up the corner
      G
And a Woolies down the street
      D7
And a brand new place they've opened up
           G                 G7
Where they regulate the heat
        C
But I'd trade them all tomorrow
      G   
For a little bush retreat       
          D7 
Where the 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
