Intro: (two beats per chord) G5 E5 A5 D5 

      G5               E5                A5            D5 
I've been around the world a couple of times or maybe more 
      A5               D5                      G5       D5 
I've seen the sights I had delights on every foreign shore 
     G5            E5              A5                 D5 
But when my mates all ask me the place that I adore 
   A5        D5    G5 
I tell them right away 
G5          E5            A5        D5 
Give me a home among the gum trees 
              A5        D5 
With lots of plum trees 
    G5              D5 
A sheep or two, a kangaroo 
    G5                   E5 
A clothes line out the back 
   A5              D5 
Verandah out the front  
        A5   D5     G5 
And an old rocking chair 

Interlude: 
C5                            G5 
Safeways on the corner And a Woolworths down the street 
      D5 
And a new world's just been opened  
           G5 
Where they regulate the heat 
G5       C5                       G5 
But I'd trade all tomorrow for a simple bush retreat 
          D5 
Where the kookaburras sing
