Here are the chords for this song as closely as I could figure them out. He played it somewhat differently on Saturday Night Live, so I'm including what I hear on the CD, but also noting where he seemed to do things differently.

One kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was a boy whose F C G# C (Again, he plays G Parents made him come right home directly after school
