Lemon Boy - Cave Town

 

Lemon boy - Cave Town E
 
[Verse 1]
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
 
[Chorus]
A            E                   G#      F#m    B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A                       E                   G#            F#m  B
I helped him plant his seeds and we mow the lawn in bad weather
A                    E           G#        F#m    G#  F#m  A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
         B                E
So I got myself a citrus friend
 
[Verse 2]
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
 
[Chorus]
   A            E                   G#      F#m  B
So Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A                       E                   G#            F#m  B
I helped him plant his seeds and we mow the lawn in bad weather
A                    E           G#       B      G#   F#m  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-oh well,
E
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
 
   A             E              G#    F#m  B
So 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
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         A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
                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
 
E       A    F#m  B  E       A    F#m  B  E
