C#m7         F#
Skinhead, oh skinhead
F#m                     E
Skinhead with a hearing aid
C#m7         F#
Skinhead, oh skinhead
F#m                     E
Skinhead with a hearing aid
C#m7         F#
Skinhead, oh skinhead
F#m                E
No, he's not a neo-Nazi
C#m7         F#
Skinhead, oh skinhead
F#m                  E
He just dresses that way
        C#m7                    F#
He just wants to keep me afraid
              C#m                    F#
That he could kill me with one swift kick
             F#m
To a special part of the brain
               E
Skinhead with a hearing aid

Bridge:
C#m            F#                D
    There were times, there were times
                     Bm                C#m
When I was scared of walking home from school
           F#                Bm (single strum)
There were times, there were times
                      Bm (single strum)
When I'd thought he'd scowl at me 
    D (single strum)D (single strum)
And yell at me and show me the
F#m                E
Bottoms of his Doc Martens

Notes:

Sometimes, instead of playing the E major chord, Ed plays this little fill:


That's it.
