[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
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
     F                  C                      E7             Am
I'd help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
     F               C            E7        Am                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
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
      F                  C                      E7             Am
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
     F               C            E7          Am              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                              Dm      G
What if the clouds run out of rain
F                                 C
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
E7                              F
What if the beaches dry of sugarcane

Oh well

    C
The whales start to beach themselves
    E7                                   F
The 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
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
      F                  C              E7        Am
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever


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