There [E] once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "[G#7] Lemon Boy"
He was [A] growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his [F#m] hair like a [B] weed
And [E] like weeds do he only came and grew [G#7] back again
So, I [A] figured this time I might as well let him [F#m] be [B] be
[A] Lemon Boy and [E] me started to get a[G#7] long [C#m] together
I’d [A] help him plant his [E] seeds and we mowed the [G#7] lawn in bad [C#m] weather
It’s [A] actually pretty [E] easy being [G#7] nice to a [C#m] bitter boy like [A] him
So, I got my[B] self a citrus [E] friend
But [E] soon his bittersweet started to [G#7] rub off on me
You’d think [A] smelling like lemon zest would [F#m] be pretty [B] neat
I [E] found out that my friends are more of the [G#7] savoury type
And they [A] weren’t too keen on compromising with a [F#m] nice lemon [B] pie
[A] Lemon Boy and [E] me started to get a[G#7] long [C#m] together
I’d [A] help him plant his [E] seeds and we mowed the [G#7] lawn in bad [C#m] weather
It’s [A] actually pretty [E] easy being [G#7] nice to a [C#m] bitter boy like [A] him
So, I got my[B] self a citrus [E] friend
But [E] what if I run out of ferti[G#7] liser
[A] What if the clouds run out [Am6] of rain
[A] What if Lemon Boy won’t grow no long[E] er
What if the [G#7] beaches dry of sugar[A] cane. Oh [Am6] well
The [E] whales start to beach themselves
The [G#7] tortoise shells tear away from their [A] spines
[Am6] ..It [B] happens all the [E] time, [Am6] ...it [B] happens all the [E] time
[A] Lemon Boy and [E] I, we’re gonna [G#7] live fore[C#m] ver
Like [A] Snufkin and Little [E] My, we’ll get a[G#7] round where[C#m] ver
[A] Lemon Boy and [E] I, we’re gonna [G#7] live fore[C#m] ver
Like [A] Snufkin and Little[E] My, we’ll get a[G#7] round where[C#m] ver
It’s [A] actually pretty [E] easy being [G#7] nice to a [C#m] bitter boy like [A] him
'Cause we're the [B] bitterest boys in [A] town
Yeah, we’re the [B] bitterest guys a[A] round
And I got my[B] self a citrus [E] friend
