[Intro] C C [Verse 1]
      C                                                E7
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy"

       F                                                   Dm         G
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed

      C                                   E7
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again

      F                                         Dm  G
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
F              C                 E7       Am G
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together

  F                     C                      E7          Am  G
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather

     F               C           E7        Am     G        F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

            G             C
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
        C                                E7
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me

             F                             Dm          G
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat

      C                                     E7
I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type

            F                                     Dm         G
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
   F              C                     E7       Am G
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together

  F                     C                      E7          Am  G
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather

     F               C           E7        Am     G        F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

            G             C
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
    C                         E7
But what if I run out of fertiliser

F                              Fm    
What if the clouds run out of rain

F                                 C
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer

E7                           F
What if beaches dry of sugarcane

   Fm
Oh-ohhhh well

    C
The whales start to beach themselves

E7                                 F
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines

                   Dm       G               C
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
[Pre-Chorus]
F              C              E7       Am G
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever

      F                  C              E7        Am G
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
[Chorus]
F              C              E7       Am G
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever

      F                  C              E7        Am G
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever

     F               C            E7       Am     G         F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
[Outro]
                   G                   F
'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town

                  G                  F
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around

                G               C
And I got myself a citrus friend
