[Primeira Parte]

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

 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    B
And we'd mow the lawn in bad 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

[Segunda Parte]

     E                     
But soon his bitter-sweet 
            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

[Refrão]

    A             E  
So Lemon Boy and me
                     G#        C#m  B
We just got to get along together
   A                    E     
I helped him plant his seeds 
                  G#          C#m    B
And we'd mow the lawn in bad 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

      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
                    Am
It happens all the time
    F#m    B        E
It happens all the time
