Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) *= one strum Verse 1: E G# There once was a bittersweet 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# C#m B Lemon Boy and me started to get along together A E G# C#m B I'd help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather A E G# C#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
