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
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
