Intro

[Verse 1]
C# F
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
F# D#m G#
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
C# F
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
F# D#m G#
So I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
F# C# F D#m G#
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
F# C# F D#m G#
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
F# C# F D#m G# F#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G# C#
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
C# F
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
F# D#m G#
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
C# F
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
F# D#m G#
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
F# C# F D#m G#
So Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
F# C# F D#m G#
I helped him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
F# C# F D#m G# F#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G# C#
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
C# F7
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
F# F#m
What if the clouds run out of rain?
F# C#
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
F7 F# F#m
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh-oh well,
C#
Whales start to beach themselves
F7 F#
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
F#m
It happens all the time
D#m G# C#
It happens all the time
|(C#) | E | F7 | F7 | F# | F# | F#m | D#m G# |
F# C# F7 D#m G#
So Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F# C# F7 D#m G#
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
F# C# F7 D#m G#
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F# C# F7 D#m G#
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
F# C# F7 D#m G# F#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G# F#
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
G# F#
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
G# C#
and I've got myself a citrus friend
