Intro
G#
[Verse 1]
G# C
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
C# A#m D#
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
G# C
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
C# A#m D#
So I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
C# G# C A#m D#
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
C# G# C A#m D#
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
C# G# C A#m D# C#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
D# G#
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
G# C
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
C# A#m D#
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
G# C
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
C# A#m D#
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
C# G# C A#m D#
So Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
C# G# C A#m D#
I helped him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
C# G# C A#m D# C#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
D# G#
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
G# C7
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
C# C#m
What if the clouds run out of rain?
C# G#
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
C7 C# C#m
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh-oh well,
G#
Whales start to beach themselves
C7 C#
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
C#m
It happens all the time
A#m D# G#
It happens all the time
|(G#) | E | C7 | C7 | C# | C# | C#m | A#m D# |
C# G# C7 A#m D#
So Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
C# G# C7 A#m D#
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
C# G# C7 A#m D#
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
C# G# C7 A#m D#
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
C# G# C7 A#m D# C#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
D# C#
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
D# C#
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
D# G#
and I've got myself a citrus friend
[Outro]
