Lemon Boy (guitar) Tab par Cavetown

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
E                                                     G#
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
       A
He was growing in my garden and
                        F#m          B
I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
E                                       G#
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
     A                                         F#m  B
So I figured this time I might as well let him be
 
[Chorus]
A             E                 G#    C#m   B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
   A                   E                      G#          C#m  B
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
     A               E          G#         C#m      B        A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
           B             E
So I got myself a citrus friend
 
[Verse 2]
    E                                G#
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
            A                              F#m       B
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
  E                                          G#
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
         A                                         F#m        B
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
 
[Chorus]
   A             E                  G#    C#m    B
So Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together
   A                   E                      G#          C#m  B
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
     A               E          G#        C#m      B        A
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 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
   C#m     B       E
It happens all the time
 
[Instrumental]
E G# A Am C#m B
 
[Outro]
A             E              G#   C#m   B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
     A                  E             G#      C#m  B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A             E              G#   C#m  B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
     A                  E             G#      C#m   B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
     A               E          G#        C#m      B        A
It's actually pretty easy being nice 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
