Here is the actual chords:

[Verse 1]
G B
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, “Lemon Boy”
C Am D
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
G B
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
C G B Em D
I’d help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
C G B Em D C
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
C G B Em D C
It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
D* G
So, I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
G* B*
But what if I run out of fertiliser
C* Cm*
What if the clouds run out of rain
C* D* G*
What if Lemon Boy won’t grow no longer
B* C*
What if the beaches dry of sugarcane
Cm*
Oh well
G*
The whales start to beach themselves
B* C*
The tortoise shells tear away from their spines
Cm* G*
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
[Instrumental Break]
B* C* Cm*
[Pre-Chorus]
(Soft strumming)
C G B Em D
Lemon Boy and I, we’re gonna live forever
(Build up strumming)
C G B Em D
Like Snufkin and Little My, we’ll get around wherever
[Chorus]
(Intense strumming)
C G B Em D
Lemon Boy and I, we’re gonna live forever
C G B Em D
Like Snufkin and Little My, we’ll get around wherever
C G B Em D C
It’s actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
[Outro]
D C
‘Cause we’re the bitterest boys in town
D C
Yeah, we’re the bitterest guys around
D* G*
And I got myself a citrus friend
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—

-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?
