Lemon Boy Tab par Cavetown

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


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


[Verse]
    F                                A
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
            A#                              Gm       C
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
  F                                          A
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
         A#                                         Gm        C
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie


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


[Bridge]
    F                         A
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
A#                             A#m
What if the clouds run out of rain?
A#                               F
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
A                           A#     A#m
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
    F
The whales start to beach themselves
A                                   A#
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
   A#               A#m
It happens all the time
   Gm     C       F
It happens all the time


[Instrumental]
F A A# A#m Gm C


[Outro]
A#             F              A   Gm C
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
     A#                  F             A      Gm C
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A#             F              A   Gm C
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
     A#                  F             A      Gm C
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
     A#               F          A        Gm    C        A#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
                C                 A#
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
               C               A#
Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
               C             F
and I've got myself a citrus friend
