F There once was a bittersweet man A and they called him Lemon Boy Bb He was growing in my garden GmC and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed FA And like weeds do he only came and grew back again Bb So I figured this time GmC I might as well let him be
BbFA Lemon Boy and me started to get along DmC together BbF I'll help him plant his seeds ADmC and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather BbFA It's actually pretty easy being nice DmCBb to a bitter boy like him CF So I got myself a citrus friend
FA But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me Bb You'd think smelling like lemon zest GmC would be pretty neat F But I found out that my friends A were more the savoury type BbGm And they weren't too keen on compromising C with a nice lemon pie
BbFA So Lemon Boy and me we just gotta get along DmC together BbF I helped him plant his seeds ADmC and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather BbFA It's actually pretty easy being nice DmCBb to a bitter boy like him CF So I got myself a citrus friend
FA But what if I run out of fertilizer BbBbm What if the clouds run out of rain BbF What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer ABb What if beaches dry of sugar cane Bbm Oh well F The whales start to beach themselves ADm Tortoise shells tear away from their spines Bb It happens all the time BbmF it happens all the time
BbFADmC Lemon Boy and me we are gonna live forever BbF Like Snufkin and Little My ADmC we'll get around wherever BbFA It's actually pretty easy being nice DmCBb to a bitter boy like him CBb Cause we're the bitterest boys in town CBb Yeah we're the bitterest guys around CF and I've got myself a citrus friend
