  Verse:
  
  C                     F
  Jimmy and Johnny, two friends of mine
  A#                   C
  Skinheads what they claim                    (D|-5-5-5--3--2--0-|)
  C           F            A#                      C
  Outside similarities but no, they don't feel the same
  
      C                       F
  See Johnny thinks Jimmy's a mod
      A#                      C
  And Jimmy thinks Johnny's a punk
  C                F       A#                 C
  Jimmy listens to ska and Johnny likes Last Resort
  
  C                       F         A#           C
  Jimmy and Johnny in the trenches, going down tonight
  C                          F
  Drinking Guinness, smoking 555's
  A#                             C
  Once you're in the middle everything's all right
  
  
  Prechorus:
