[Verse 1]
E E Ab Ab
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him ¨lemon boy¨
A A Gbm Gbm
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a
B B
weed
E E Ab Ab
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
A A Gbm Gbm B B
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be


[Chorus]
A A E E Ab Ab C#m C#m B B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A A E E Ab Ab C#m C#m B B
I’d help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
A A E E Ab Ab C#m C#m B B A A
It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
B B* E E
So, I got myself a citrus friend


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


[Chorus]
A A E E Ab Ab C#m C#m B B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A A E E Ab Ab C#m C#m B B
I’d help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
A A E E Ab Ab C#m C#m B B A A
It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
- B B- E E
So, I got myself a citrus friend


[Bridge]

E E* G# G#*
But what if I run out of fertiliser
A A* Am Am*
What if the clouds run out of rain
A A* B B* E E*
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
G# G#* A A*
What if the beaches dry of sugarcane
Am Am*
Oh well

E E*
The whales start to beach themselves
G# G#* A A*
The tortoise shells tear away from their spines
Am Am* E E*
It happens all the time, it happens all the time

[Instrumental Break]

G# G#* A A* Am Am*


[Pre-Chorus]
(Soft strumming)
A A E E G# G# C#m C#m B B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
(Build up strumming)
A A E E G# G# C#m C#m B B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever


[Chorus]
(Intense strumming)
A A E E G# G# C#m C#m B B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A A E E G# G# C#m C#m B B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A A E E G# G# C#m C#m B B A A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him



[Outro]
B B A A
´Cause weŕe the bitterest boys in town
B B A A
We’re the bitterest guys around
B B* E E*
And I got myself, a citrus friend

I agree with CatsLoveHats, the chords arent aligned right on some lines and its difficult to play along to

-4 is the easiest, just put a capo on the 4th fret if you want to stay in the same key
