The Henningsens have been playing this one live
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7SyBQOpnLY) so I decided to tab it and upload it.
The version without a capo ("original") is played with the chords A, F#m, D, E, Bm and
G. I tabbed it without a capo, but I think this is easier for beginners. Click transpose
+2 if you prefer to play the song without a capo.

I finally met a special guy, you play guitar okay,

But he plays lead in a band

I took out a knife (a sharp one),

I gave them a slice (slowly),

I squeezed them for all they were worth
C G F C
And I made lemonade
G F C G F C
Lemonade, oh, lemonade

A little sugar, a little ice,
G F C G F C
A little shaking, goes down nice
