-1 (one half step down) might be more fitting the key of some versions of this song.
Verse:
E Ab
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
A Gbm B
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
E Ab
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
A Gbm B
So I figured this time I might as well let him be
Chorus:
A E Ab Gbm B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A E Ab Gbm B
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
A E Ab Gbm B A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
B E
So I got myself a citrus friend
Verse:
E Ab
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
A Gbm B
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
E Ab
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
A Gbm B
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
Chorus:
A E Ab Gbm B
So Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together
A E Ab Gbm B
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
A E Ab Gbm B 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 Ab
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?
Ab A Am
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
E
The whales start to beach themselves
Ab A
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
A Am
It happens all the time
Gbm B E
It happens all the time
Interlude: E Ab A Am Gbm B
Outro:
A E Ab Gbm B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A E Ab Gbm B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A E Ab Gbm B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A E Ab Gbm B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A E Ab Gbm 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
Outro: E A Gbm B E A Gbm B E
The lyrics for this song at certain points are wrong. Here is says “she gives me presents, where the presents are loans” ; it should be” she gives me presents, with her presence alone”
Also later on it says “You gotta be careful when you got good luck”, it should be love instead of luck.
The second chord is not Eb, it is a Bb6. Replace throughout and it sounds much better.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds way off? especially the Ab and Fm
+7 sounds good and is easy
Please fix the lyrics. Its quite wrong
