C C     C C
[Verse 1]
C C E7 E7
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy"
F F Dm Dm G G
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
C C E7 E7
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
F F Dm Dm G G
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be


[Chorus]
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
I'd help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am F F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G G C C
So, I got myself a citrus friend


[Verse 2]
C C E7 E7
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
F F Dm Dm G G
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
C C E7 E7
I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type
F F Dm Dm G G
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie


[Chorus]
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am F F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G G C C
So, I got myself a citrus friend


[Bridge]
C C E7 E7
But what if I run out of fertiliser
F F Dm Dm G G
What if the clouds run out of rain
F F C C
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
E7 E7 F F
What if the beaches dry of sugarcane

Oh well

C C
The whales start to beach themselves
E7 E7 F F
The tortoise shells tear away from their spines
Dm Dm G G C C
It happens all the time, it happens all the time


[Pre-Chorus]
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever


[Chorus]
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
F F C C E7 E7 Am Am F F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him


[Outro]
G G F F
'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
G G F F
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
G G C C
And I got myself a citrus friend
