There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, “Lemon Boy”

And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
C Am D
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
C G B Em D
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together

I’d help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather

It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
D* G
So, I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
B
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
C Am D
You’d think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
G B
I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type
C Am D
And they weren’t too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
C G B Em D
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
C G B Em D
I’ll help him plant his seeds and we’ll mow the lawn in bad weather

G B C Am
Hopefully this made it eisier
i always thought it was “what if peaches dry of sugarcane”… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh well.
*me finding this cause I found it on my recommendations on YouTube of the DreamTeam there—
l e m o n s
-4 is easy for me although my hand cramped a little lol
To make it a bit easier E = G Ab = C A = A Gbm = F B = D Am = Am
+3
**i’m bacc** pleAse tell me there’s an easier way to play B ;(((((
i like using Ab minor in the original in place of regular Ab!
To me, Ab just doesn’t sound right in this, what should I use instead?
does anyone know what to replace C with +3? it doesnt sound right
I’m confused what’s the strumming pattern?
nobody:
me: LiKe SnUfKiN aNd LiTtLe mY
also @JoshDunIsNeverFun thanks for the tip
Hello, L G B T community
anybody understood the moomintroll reference? no? just me? ok.
the line “the whales start to beach themselves, tortoise shells tear away from their spines/it happens all the time” will always make me cry but it’s so pretty. i love this song 💛
I started listening to this song when I was seven or eight and I met my best friend noe when I was 9 and this is literally our whole entire friendship lol.
So anyone else seen that one animatic? no?
i can do the chords easy but i cant do e for some reason! IDK what replace it with goggle said g but it sounds wrong!
no one:
not a single soul:
