[Intro]
Dm, Bb, F, C
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb F
When I grow up, I want to be a forester
C Dm
Run through the moss on high heels
Bb F
That’s what I'll do, throwing out boomerang
C Dm
Waiting for it to come back to me
Bb, F, C
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb F
When I grow up, I want to live near the sea
C Dm
Crab claws and bottles of rum
Bb F
That’s what i’ll have, staring at the seashell
C Dm Bb F C
Waiting for it to embrace me, oh ohhh ooh oh
[Verse 3]
Dm Bb
I put my soul in what I do
F
Last night I drew a funny man
C Dm
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue
Bb F
It goes way back, I never liked a sad look
C Dm Bb F C
From someone who wants to be loved by you, oooh oooh oohh
[Verse 4]
Dm Bb
I’m very good with plants
F
When my friends are away
C Dm
they let me keep the soil moist
Bb
On the seventh day I rest
F
for a minute or two
C Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F C
then back on my feet to call for you oooh ooh oooh, oooh ooh ooh ooh
Dm Bb F C
ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 5]
Dm Bb
You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
F
Too much time spent on nothing
C Dm
waiting for a moment to arise
Bb F
The face in the ceiling and arms too long
C Dm Bb F C Dm
I'm waiting for him to catch me oooh oooh oooh oooh

Capo on fifth and Am F C G not too bad either, thanks!

Sounds great! The way I've found that it sounds best is to use Dm not barred (0-0-0-2-3-1) and C barred (0-3-5-5-5-3).
Thank for the post!

Thanks so much for this – such a beautiful song and cover version and I finally managed to play it on my Ukulele :)
