Home Among The Gum Trees

Intro: (two beats per chord) G Em Am D7
      G               Em                Am            D7
I've been around the world a couple of times or maybe more
      Am               D7                      G       D7
I've seen the sights I had delights on every foreign shore
     G            Em              Am                 D7
But when my mates all ask me the place that I adore
   Am        D7    G
I tell them right away
G          Em            Am        D7
Give me a home among the gum trees
              Am        D7
With lots of plum trees
Continues after the ad
    G              D7
A sheep or two, a kangaroo
    G                   Em
A clothes line out the back
   Am              D7
Verandah out the front
        Am   D7     G
And an old rocking chair
Interlude:
C                            G
Safeways on the corner And a Woolworths down the street
      D7
And a new world's just been opened
           G
Where they regulate the heat
G7       C                       G
But I'd trade all tomorrow for a simple bush retreat
          D7
Where the kookaburras sing
