[Verse 1]
        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

G7 D F#7 Em A7 [Solo] [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
[Solo] [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

G7                    D         F#7        Em    A7       G7
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
[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
