Lemon Boy

[Intro] E

[First Part]

E
  There once was a bitter-sweet man
                     G#
And they called him Lemon Boy
         A
He was growing in my garden
                             F#m
And I pulled him out by his hair
        B
Like a weed
     E
And like weeds do he only came
          G#
And grew back again
      A
So I figured this time
                         F#m  B
I might as well let him be

[Chorus]

 A             E
Lemon Boy and me
                 G#        C#m  B
Started to get along together
      A                  E
I'll help him plant his seeds
                  G#          C#m 
And we'd mow the lawn in bad 
   B
weather
     A               E           G#
It's actually pretty easy being nice
      C#m    B        A
To a bitter boy like him
            B              E
So I got myself a citrus friend

[Second Part]

     E
But soon his bitter-sweet
Continues after the ad
            G#
Started to rub off on me
              A
You'd think smelling like lemon
            F#m       B
Zest would be pretty neat
   E
I found out that my friends
                  G#
Were more of the savory type
          A
And they weren't too keen with
                     F#m        B
Compromising with a nice lemon pie

[Chorus]

    A             E
So Lemon Boy and me
                     G#        C#m
We just got to get along together
  B

   A                    E
I helped him plant his seeds
                  G#          C#m 
And we'd mow the lawn in bad 
   B
weather
     A               E           G#
It's actually pretty easy being nice
      C#m    B        A
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 fertilizer?
  A                        Am
What if the clouds run out of rain?
  A                            
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no 
  E
longer?
  G#                          A    
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? 
Am
Oh well

      E
The whales start to beach themselves
 G#                              A
Tortoise shells tear away from their
 spines
                    Am
It happens all the time
    F#m    B        E
It happens all the time

( E  G#  A  Am  F#m  B )

[Outro]

 A            E
Lemon Boy and I
             G#     C#m  B
We're gonna live forever
       A                 E
Like Snufkin and Little My
           G#       C#m  B
E'll get around wherever
 A            E

  A
town
                B               A
Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
                B              E
