Ends with lennon's track for this. It's like a step down, plus there's tabs for his. [Order] [Intro] [Verse 1] [Chorus 1] [Verse 1] [Chorus 1] [Verse 2] [Chorus 2] [Verse 2] [Chorus 2] [Solo] [Verse 2] [Chorus 2] listen to the song for repeat help [Lyrics] Verse 1 As soon as youre born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Verse 2 They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if your clever and they despise a fool Till youre so fucking crazy you cant follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Verse 3 When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you cant really function youre so full of fear A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Verse 4 Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv And you think youre so clever and classless and free But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Verse 5 Theres room at the top they are telling you still But first you must how to smile as you kill But if you want to be like the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be (lennon track) If you want to be a hero well just follow me If you want to be a hero well just follow me Just follow me ------------------------------------------------------------ Capo version Capo on 2nd fret Same rhythm patern as the first tabulature
