Lemon Boy Tabulatur von Cavetown

If you see *  next to one of the chords, you strum once


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


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


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


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


[Bridge]

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

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

[Instrumental Break]

G#* A* Am*


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


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



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