Lemon Boy Tab uke di Cavetown

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


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


    F#                                    A#
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
            B 
You'd think smelling like lemon zest 
      G#m        C#
would be pretty neat
      F#      
But I found out that my friends                 
                 A#
were more the savoury type  
         B                   G#m  
And they weren't too keen on compromising     
        C# 
with a nice lemon pie    

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

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

Instrumental: F# A# D#m B Bm

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