CHe spent fifteen years getting loaded
FFifteen years till his liver exploded
Cwhat's Bob gonna do
Now that he cant Fdrink?

Now I gotta do something eFlse

(Oi! Oi! Oi!)
CTo pass the time, had someone shave his head
He got a Fnew identity
CSixty-two hole air cushioned boots
And a Fgirl who rides a scooter
To take him Cout of tGown
AmThey would get aFway
CRunnin arounGd
And as the tAmrucks drive by
You can hFear the mother fuckers go "PCUNK!"G  Am  F

CA couple of lines, an extra thermos of joe
He'll be Fkickin in heads at the punk rock show
CBob's the kinda guy who knows just what

When the Fmdoctor tells him to

Chord choice: 
I suggest playing all chords as simple barre chords if you're playing on an acoustic guitar.
This allows applying left hand muting technique which can be easier than palm muting for beginners.
Palm muting should also be applied if possible.
On an electric guitar you will look for power chords mostly.
The E7 chord can be played as 076700 and the C/F chord should be XX3553
The Bb chord in the last verse can be ignored (easier) or should be played very lightly/muted (x1333x)
Strumming:
The strumming pattern alternates between ska/punk with short bursts followed by palm muting 
then around the middle of each verse the tempo slows to a reggae beat. The end is a classic reggae rhythm.
