[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

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 :)
