[Verse]
F F A A
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
A# A# Gm Gm C C
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
F F A A
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
A# A# Gm Gm C C
So I figured this time I might as well let him be


[Chorus]
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C A# A#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
C C F F
So I got myself a citrus friend


[Verse]
F F A A
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
A# A# Gm Gm C C
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
F F A A
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
A# A# Gm Gm C C
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie


[Chorus]
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
So Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C A# A#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
C C F F
So I got myself a citrus friend


[Bridge]
F F A A
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
A# A# A#m A#m
What if the clouds run out of rain?
A# A# F F
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
A A A# A# A#m A#m
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
F F
The whales start to beach themselves
A A A# A#
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
A# A# A#m A#m
It happens all the time
Gm Gm C C F F
It happens all the time


[Instrumental]
F F A A A# A# A#m A#m Gm Gm C C


[Outro]
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A# A# F F A A Gm Gm C C A# A#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
C C A# A#
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
C C A# A#
Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
C C F F
and I've got myself a citrus friend

[Instrumental]
F F A# A# Gm Gm C C F F A# A# Gm Gm C C F F

During the chorus, I use one down strum and then a chuck. I use it just to go with the lo-fi beat.

Almost perfect chords, except the Gm in the chorus should be Dm. In the verses Gm is correct.
