There once was a bitter-sweet man
G#
And they called him Lemon Boy
A
He was growing in my garden
F#m B
And I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
E
And like weeds do he only came
G#
And grew back again
A
So I figured this time I might
F#m B
As well let him be
A E G# F#m B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A E
I'll help him plant his seeds
G# F#m B
And we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
A E G#
It's actually pretty easy being nice
F#m B A
To a bitter boy like him
B E
So I got myself a citrus friend
E G#
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
A
You'd think smelling like lemon zest
F#m B
Would be pretty neat
E
I found out that my friends were more
G#
Of the savoury type
A
And they weren't too keen with compromising
F#m B
With a nice lemon pie
A E
So Lemon Boy and me, we just got
G# F#m B
To get along together
A E
I helped him plant his seeds
G# F#m B
And we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
A E G#
It's actually pretty easy being nice
F#m B A
To a bitter boy like him
B E
So I got myself a citrus friend
E G#
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
A Am
What if the clouds run out of rain?
A E
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
G# A Am
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
E
The whales start to beach themselves
G# A
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
A Am
It happens all the time
F#m B E
It happens all the time
E G# A Am F#m B
A E G# F#m B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A E
Like Snufkin and Little My,
G# F#m B
We'll get around wherever
A E G# F#m B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A E
Like Snufkin and Little My,
G# F#m B
We'll get around wherever
A E G#
It's actually pretty easy being nice
F#m B A
To a bitter boy like him
B A
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
B A
Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
B E
And I've got myself a citrus friend
E A F#m B
