[Intro]
| Am | % |
[Verse 1]
Am G Am As soon as you're born they make you feel small Am G Am By giving you no time instead of it all Am G Am Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all Am G Am A working class hero is something to be Am G D Am A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 2]
Am G Am They hurt you at home and they hit you at school Am G Am They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool Am G Am Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules Am G Am A working class hero is something to be Am G D Am A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 3]
Am G Am When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Am G Am Then they expect you to pick a career Am G Am When you can't really function you're so full of fear Am G Am A working class hero is something to be Am G D Am A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 4]
Am G Am Keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V. Am G Am And you think you're so clever and classless and free Am G Am But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see Am G Am A working class hero is something to be Am G D Am A working class hero is something to be
[Verse 5]
Am G Am There's room at the top they are telling you still Am G Am But first you must learn how to smile as you kill Am G Am If you want to be like the folks on the hill Am G Am A working class hero is something to be Am G D Am A working class hero is something to be
[Outro]
Am G Am If you want to be a hero well just follow me Am G D Am If you want to be a hero well just follow me
