Verse:
E
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

Chorus:
A             E                 G#    F#m B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
     A                  E
Iʼll help him plant his seeds
                  G#          F#m B
and weʼd mow the lawn in bad weather
     A               E          G#
Itʼs actually pretty easy being nice
      F#m    B        A
to a bitter boy like him
           B             E
So I got myself a citrus friend

Verse:
    E                                G#
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
            A
Youʼd think smelling like lemon zest
       F#m       B
would be pretty neat
  E
I found out that my friends were more
         G#
of the savory type
         A
And they werenʼt too keen with compromising
        F#m        B
with a nice lemon pie

Chorus:
   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 weʼd mow the lawn in bad weather
     A               E          G#
Itʼs actually pretty easy being nice
      F#m    B        A
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 fertilizer?
A                             Am
What if the clouds run out of rain?
A                               E
What if Lemon Boy wonʼt 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

Outro:
A             E              G#   F#m B
Lemon Boy and I, weʼre gonna live forever
     A                  E
Like Snufkin and Little My,
           G#      F#m B
weʼll get around wherever
A             E              G#   F#m B
Lemon Boy and I, weʼre gonna live forever
     A                  E
Like Snufkin and Little My,
           G#      F#m B
weʼll get around wherever
     A               E          G#
Itʼs actually pretty easy being nice
      F#m    B        A
to a bitter boy like him
                B                 A
Cause weʼre the bitterest boys in town
               B               A
Yeah weʼre the bitterest guys around
               B             E
and Iʼve got myself a citrus friend

E A F#m B E A F#m B E
