I find that a capo on the first or second fret helps me sing the low parts a little more easily...

Verse 1
E                  A       E
What's that there, can you see
  E                B
I wonder what that thing could be
E                A      B
Now it's sitting in the tree
E           A        B   E
Part of the gum tree family

   A
It flies up high
E
Lands on a branch
A
Makes this sound....koo koo ka ka ka...
B
You guessed it, it's a kookaburra!
    E                 A      B
And when it's sitting in the tree
     E           A        B   E
It's part of the gum tree family

E  A  B  E

(Play E chord during break)

Verse 2
E                  A       E
What's that there, can you see
  E                B
I wonder what that thing could be
E                 A      B
Sleeping up there in the tree
     E           A        B   E
It's part of the gum tree family
   A
It sits on a branch
E
Chews the leaves
  A
A baby on her back
B
You guessed it, it's a koala!
    E                 A      B

Verse 3
E                  A       E
What's that there, can you see
  E                B
I wonder what that thing could be
E               A       B
In the creek beside the tree
     E           A        B   E
It's part of the gum tree family

     A
It's got webbed feet
  E
A bill like a bird
   A
It lives in the creek
B
You guessed it, it's a platypus!
    E              A         B

It's part of the gum tree family

E  A  B  E

E                A        B
Bouncing along beside the tree
     E           A        B   E
It's part of the gum tree family

     A
It's got brown fur
E
Hops along
   A
A joey in her pouch
B
You guessed it, it's a kangaroo!
    E               A        B
And when it's underneath the tree
