Home among the gum trees

-7 -8 -8 -8 -7 8 8 8 7 -6 -7
I’ve been around the World a dozen times or
-6 6 5
maybe more

-6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -8 7 -6 -4 6 -4
I’ve seen the sights and had delights on ev’ry
6 -7 -8
foreign shore

-7 -8 -8 -8 -7 8 8 8 -7 -6
But when my friends all ask of me the place
-7 -6 6 5
that I adore

-7 -6 -8 -4 -6 6
I tell them right a-way

(chorus)
6 6 -6 -7 -6 -7 6 -6 -4 -7 -7 6
Give me a home among the gum trees with lots of
-6 -4
plumb trees

-6 6 6 6 5 -4 -4 -4
A sheep or two, a kangaroo

5 -4 -4 -4 5 6 -7 -6 -7 -6 6
A clothesline out the back, verandah out the
5
front

-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 6
And an old rocking chair
