[Verse 1] FA7 There once was a bittersweet man and they called him Lemon Boy A#GmC He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed FA7 And like weeds do he only came and grew back again A#GmC So I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus] A#FA7Dm Lemon Boy and me started to get along together A#FA7Dm I'd help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather A#FA7DmA# It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him CF So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2] FA7 But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me A#GmC You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat FA7 I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type A#GmC And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus] A#FA7Dm So Lemon Boy and me we just gotta get along together A#FA7Dm I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather A#FA7DmA# It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him CF So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge] FA7 But what if I run out of fertiliser A#GmC What if the clouds run out of rain A#F What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer A7A# What if the beaches dry of sugarcane
Oh well
F The whales start to beach themselves A7A# The tortoise shells tear away from their spines GmCF It happens all the time it happens all the time
[Pre-Chorus] A#FA7Dm Lemon Boy and I we're gonna live forever A#FA7Dm Like Snufkin and Little My we'll get around wherever
[Chorus] A#FA7Dm Lemon Boy and I we're gonna live forever A#FA7Dm Like Snufkin and Little My we'll get around wherever A#FA7DmA# It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
[Outro] CA# Cause we're the bitterest boys in town CA# Yeah we're the bitterest guys around CF And I got myself a citrus friend
