CC [Verse 1] CE7 There once was a bittersweet man and they called him Lemon Boy FDmG He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed CE7 And like weeds do he only came and grew back again FDmG So I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus] FCE7Am Lemon Boy and me started to get along together FCE7Am I'd help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather FCE7AmF It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him GC So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2] CE7 But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me FDmG You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat CE7 I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type FDmG And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus] FCE7Am So Lemon Boy and me we just gotta get along together FCE7Am I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather FCE7AmF It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him GC So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge] CE7 But what if I run out of fertiliser FDmG What if the clouds run out of rain FC What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer E7F What if the beaches dry of sugarcane
Oh well
C The whales start to beach themselves E7F The tortoise shells tear away from their spines DmGC It happens all the time it happens all the time
[Pre-Chorus] FCE7Am Lemon Boy and I we're gonna live forever FCE7Am Like Snufkin and Little My we'll get around wherever
[Chorus] FCE7Am Lemon Boy and I we're gonna live forever FCE7Am Like Snufkin and Little My we'll get around wherever FCE7AmF It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
[Outro] GF Cause we're the bitterest boys in town GF Yeah we're the bitterest guys around GC And I got myself a citrus friend
