Lemon Boy(Chords)

	        
Verse 
E                                                     G# 
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy 
       A                                                F#m          B 
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed 
E                                       G# 
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again 
     A                                         F#m  B 
So I figured this time I might as well let him be 
 
A             E                 G#    F#m B 
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together 
     A                  E                      G#          F#m B 
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather 
     A               E          G#        F#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 
    E                                G# 
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me 
            A                              F#m       B 
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat 
  E                                          G# 
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type 
         A                                         F#m        B 
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie 

   A             E                  G#    F#m B 
So Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together 
   A                   E                      G#          F#m B 
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather 
     A               E          G#        F#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 fertilizer? 
A                             Am 
What if the clouds run out of rain? 
A                               E 
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer? 
G#                           A     Am 
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well, 
    E 
The whales start to beach themselves 
G#                                   A 
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines 
   A               Am 
It happens all the time 
   F#m     B       E 
It happens all the time

Outro 
A             E              G#   F#m B 
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever 
     A                  E             G#      F#m B 
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever 
A             E              G#   F#m B

                B                 A 
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town 
               B               A 
Yeah we're the bitterest guys around 
               B             E 
and I've got myself a citrus friend
