Working Class Hero Chords by Alan Jackson

[Start]

[Verse]
E7 E                      
■  ■ A callused right hand
        A          E    
Holds a shiny gold watch
B7           A            E    
Thirty years spent on the clock
        E                 
But you won't see no tears
          A             E   
From this workin' class hero
     B           A         B    B7
He's always been hard as a rock ■ 
       E                 
But he knows he's too old
   A      E         
To really start over
B               A             E  
Besides he just wouldn't know how
  E                   
I guess he's just glad
A             E    
That he's not alone
B7              A           E  
But he's got to wonder what now


[Chorus]
               A          D             E                 
'cause there's no hall of fame for that working class hero
A         D             E     E7
No statue carved out of stone ■ 
        A        D             E              
And his greatest reward is the love of a woman
        D       
And his children
              E   
So after he's gone
         D             A    E       
That old working class hero lives on

[Verse]
     E                 
That threebedroom house
A               E      
He built in the 'fiftys
B             A      E    
Seems so much bigger today
     E                
With just him and mama
A            E    
And not many bills
B      B7         A          B    B7
'cause all of the kids moved away ■ 
          E                 
What he's done with his life
A            E         
Might not be remembered
         B         A        E       
But he's got every right to be proud
           E                   
'cause the blood sweatin' years
        A             E   
Of this workin' class hero
   B7     B    A       E    
Is really what livin's about


[Chorus]
               A          D             E                 
'cause there's no hall of fame for that working class hero
A         D             E    
No statue carved out of stone
        A        D             E              
And his greatest reward is the love of a woman
        D       
And his children
              E   
So after he's gone
         D             A    E       
That old workin' class hero lives on
