If you see next to one of the chords you strum once
[Verse 1] EAb There once was a bittersweet man and they called him ¨lemon boy¨ AGbm He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a B weed EAb And like weeds do he only came and grew back again AGbmB So I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus] AEAbC#mB Lemon Boy and me started to get along together AEAbC#mB I’d help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather AEAbC#mBA It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him B* E So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2] EAb But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me AC#mB You’d think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat EAb I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type AC#mB And they weren’t too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus] AEAbC#mB Lemon Boy and me started to get along together AEAbC#mB I’d help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather AEAbC#mBA It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him - B- E So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
E* G#* But what if I run out of fertiliser A* Am* What if the clouds run out of rain A* B* E* What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer G#* A* What if the beaches dry of sugarcane Am* Oh well
E* The whales start to beach themselves G#* A* The tortoise shells tear away from their spines Am* E* It happens all the time it happens all the time
[Instrumental Break]
G#* A* Am*

[Chorus] (Intense strumming) AEG#C#mB Lemon Boy and I we're gonna live forever AEG#C#mB Like Snufkin and Little My we'll get around wherever AEG#C#mBA It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
