[Intro]
C     C
 
[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 G
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
  F                     C                      E7          Am  G
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
     F               C           E7        Am     G        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 G
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
  F                     C                      E7          Am  G
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
     F               C           E7        Am     G        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                              Fm
What if the clouds run out of rain
F                                 C
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
E7                           F
What if beaches dry of sugarcane
   Fm
Oh-ohhhh well
 
    C
The whales start to beach themselves
E7                                 F
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 G
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
      F                  C              E7        Am G
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
 
[Chorus]
F              C              E7       Am G
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
      F                  C              E7        Am G
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
     F               C            E7       Am     G         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

I think if you transpose -5 and play this song without capo on ukulele it sounds pretty great
