Home Among The Gum Trees
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D7
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
G Em Am D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Am D7
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
[Verse 2]
G Em
You can see me in the kitchen
Am D7
Cooking up a roast
Am D7
Or Vegemite on toast
G D7
Just you and me, a cup of tea
G Em
And later on, we'll settle down
Am D7
And go out on the porch
Am D7 G
And watch the possums play
[Chorus]
G Em Am D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Am D7
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
G Em Am D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Am D7
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
[Verse 4]
G Em
Some people like their houses
Am D7
With fences all around
Am D7
Others live in mansions
G D7
And some beneath the ground
G Em
But me I like the bush you know
Am D7
With rabbits running round
Am D7 G
And a pumpkin vine out the back
[Chorus]
G Em Am D7
Give me a home among the gumtrees
Am D7
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
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
