D F#7 There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy" G7 Em A7 He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed D F#7 And like weeds do he only came and grew back again G7 Em A7 So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
G7 D F#7 Em A7 Lemon Boy and me started to get along together G7 D F#7 Em A7 I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather G7 D F#7 Em A7 G7 It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him A7 So I got myself a citrus friend

[Verse 2]
D F#7 But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me G7 Em A7 You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat D F#7 I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type G7 Em A7 And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
G7 D F#7 Em A7 So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together G7 D F#7 Em A7 I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather G7 D F#7 Em A7 G7 It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him A7 D So, I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
D F# But what if I run out of fertilizer G Gm What if the clouds run out of rain G D What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer F# G What if the beaches dry of sugarcane Gm Oh well D The whales start to beach themselves F# G The tortoise shells tear away from their spines Gm Em A7 D It happens all the time, it happens all the time
F# G Gm Em A7
[Pre-Chorus]
G7 D F#7 Em A7 Lemon Boy and I, were gonna live forever G7 D F#7 Em A7 Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever

[Outro]
A7 G7 'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town A7 G7 Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around A7 D And I got myself a citrus friend
