Intro: F Dm | Gm C7 | Gm C7 F

Verse:
I’ve F been around the Dm world a couple of
Gm times or maybe C7 more
I’ve Gm seen the sights, I’ve C7 had delights
On F every foreign shore
But F when my mates all Dm ask me the
Gm place that I a C7 dore
I Gm tell them C7 right a F way
Verse:
F Give me a home among the Gm gumtrees C7
With lots of Gm plum trees… C7
A F sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A F clothesline out the Dm back
Ver Gm andah out the C7 front
And an Gm old C7 rocking F chair
You can F see me in the Dm kitchen
Gm cooking up a C7 roast
Or Gm Vegemite on C7 toast just
F you and me a cup of tea
And F later on we’ll Dm settle down
and Gm go out on the C7 porch
And Gm watch the C7 possums F play
Verse:

With lots of Gm plum trees… C7
A F sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
A F clothesline out the Dm back
Ver Gm andah out the C7 front
And an Gm old C7 rocking F chair
Verse:
There’s Bb I.G.A. up the corner and a
F Woolies down the street
And a C7 brand new place they’ve opened up
where they F regulate the F7 heat
But I’d Bb trade them all tomorrow for a
F little bush retreat
Where the C kooka G7 burras C7 call

And an Gm old C7 rocking F chair D7
Verse:
Some G people like their Em houses
with Am fences all a D7 round
Am Others live in D7 mansions and
G some beneath the D7 ground
But G me I like the Em bush you know
with Am rabbits running round D7
And a Am pumpkin vine D7 out the G back
