verse 2     (same as verse 1)

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 


chorus

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 



verse 3

          A#There's (x1333x@1)a Safeways up the corner
      FAnd (133211@1)a Woolies down the street
      CAnd (x32010@1)a brand new place they've opened up
           FWhere (133211@1)they regulate the heat
        A#But (x1333x@1)I'd trade them all tomorrow
      FFor (133211@1)a little bush retreat
          C (x32010@1)   Gm (355333@1)  CWhere (x32010@1)the kookaburras call          kookakakakakakkaakakkakaaa


chorus 

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
