Lemonade Man Blues

©2013 Garrett Clevenger

 

E    A  B  E           I've some lemonade made from the lemons that life gave me.

A    B   E              It's still a little sour from the bitterness in me.

A    B   E  B  A     Won't you add some sugar to sweeten it up then I'll fill your empty cup.

E  A  E  B  E         It’ll pucker your lips so gobble it down baby.

 

E    A  B  E           Honey I see you out on the street.

A    B   E              From this view you're lookin' pretty sweet.

A    B   E  B  A     There's just one thing I gotta ask, "Can I pretty please fill your glass?"

E  A  E  B  E         Next to you I'd love to take a seat.

 

Chorus:

C  G  A  E             I'm a lemonade man. I do what I can.

C  G  C        E       Turning bitterness into sweetness.  Can I get a kiss?

C  G  A  B  E         It sure would help to have your loving hand.

 

E    A  B  E          One good thing about living in a college town.

A    B   E              Is the knowledge that everyone is drinking down.

A    B   E  B  A     No one wants to work all the time. There's something to be said about freeing your mind.

E  A  E  B  E         Sweet fruit helps turn your frown around.

 

E    A  B  E          I'm gettin' whiplash from turning my head too fast.

A    B   E              A wise man knows that love don't have to last.

A    B   E  B  A     There are plenty of fish swimming in the sea. Loneliness ain't our destiny.

E  A  E  B  E         Take those lemons and leave them in the past.

 

{chorus}

 

C  G  A                 Lemonade man.

 

Repeat  and jam

 

C  G  C        E       Turning bitterness into sweetness.  Can I get a kiss?
