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