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 
    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
