Home Among The Gum Trees Chords

   
  G                    c
I've been around the world
             D              EM
A couple of times or maybe more
     G                      c   
I've seen the sights, I've had delights
 D                EM 
On every foreign shore

But when my mates all ask me

The place that I adore

I tell them right away 
  G                         c
Give me a home among the gumtrees
  D                EM
With lots of plum trees
G                  
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo
  c                     D
A clothesline out the back
 EM               G
Verandah out the front
c       D           EM
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 



Give me a home among the gumtrees

With lots of plum trees
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_williamson/home_among_the_gum_trees_crd.html ]
A sheep or two, a k-kangaroo

A clothesline out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair 



There's a Safeways up the corner

And a Woolies down the street

And a brand new place they've opened up

Where they regulate the heat

But I'd trade them all tomorrow

For a little bush retreat

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
