3There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy"
       A3                                                   F#m4         B5
4He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
      E6                                   G#77
5And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
      A8                             F#m9           B10
6So, I figured this time I might as well let him be

8[Chorus]
A11               E12                 G#713          C#m14
9Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
     A15                  E16                      G#717             C#m18
10I'd help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
     A19               E20            G#721        C#m22                A23
11It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
               B24                 E25
12So, I got myself a citrus friend

14[Verse 2]
        E26                                G#727
15But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
             A28                             F#m29          B30
16You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
      E31                                     G#732
17I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type
            A33                                     F#m34         B35
18And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
19
20[Chorus]
    A36            E37                       G#738          C#m39
21So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
      A40                  E41                      G#742             C#m43
22I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
     A44               E45            G#746          C#m47              A48
23It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
             B49                   E50
24So, I got myself a citrus friend
25
26[Bridge]
    E51                         G#752
27But what if I run out of fertiliser
A53                              Am54
28What if the clouds run out of rain
A55                                 E56
29What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
G#757                              A58
30What if the beaches dry of sugarcane
Am59
31Oh well
32
    E60
33The whales start to beach themselves
    G#761                                   A62
34The tortoise shells tear away from their spines
                     Am63          B64              E65  G#766  A67 Am68  B69
35It happens all the time, it happens all the time
36
37[Pre-Chorus]
A70              E71              G#772       C#m73
38Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
      A74                  E75              G#776        C#m77
39Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
40
41[Chorus]
A78              E79              G#780       C#m81
42Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
      A82                  E83              G#784        C#m85
43Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
     A86               E87            G#788          C#m89              A90
44It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

46[Outro]
                   B91                   A92
47'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
                  B93                  A94
48Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
                B95
49And I got myself a citrus friend
