Verse 1:
A* D*
Now let me tell you a story of a big ole' skinhead

He put 10 cents in his pocket kicked his wife and family
And went to [A]ride on the [E]M.B.T.[A]A
Chorus:
Did he [A]ever return? No, he [D]never returned, and his [A]fate is still unk[E]nown
He will [A]ride forever 'neath the [D]streets of Boston
He's the [A]skinhead who [E]never re[A]turned...
Verse 2:
A* D*
Skinhead goes down to the Kendall Sq. Station
A* E*
And he changes for Jamaica Plain,
A* D*
The conductor says skinhead I need a nickel,
Skinhead [A]punches him [E]in the [A]brain
Chorus x1
Verse 3:
A* D*
Now all night long skinhead drives through the station

Thinking what can I go and see

Can't afford to buy crack in Chelsea or a bundle in Roxbury
Chorus x1
