[Start]

[Verse]
Am                             G             Am   
■  As soon as you're born they make you feel small
                      G             Am 
By giving you no time instead of it all
                                 G          Am 
'til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
                        G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
                G       D            Am
A working class hero is something to be
                               G          Am    
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
                                        Gmaj7   G Am  
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
                                       G            Am   
'til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
                        G               Am
A working class hero is something to be ■ 
                G    D               Am
A working class hero is something to be
                                         G          Am   
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
                        G      Am    
Then they expect you to pick a career
                                         G            Am
When you can't really function you're so full of fear ■ 
                        Gmaj7        G  Am
A working class hero is something to be ■ 
                G       D            Am
A working class hero is something to be
                                 G          Am
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV ■ 
                                   G             Am  
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
                                         G        Am 
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
                        G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
                G       D            Am
A working class hero is something to be
                                         G         Am
There's room at the top they are telling you still ■ 
                                G            Am  
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
                           G            Am  
If you want to be like the folks on the hill


[Chorus]
                        G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
                G       D            Am
A working class hero is something to be
                              Gmaj7       Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
                              G             
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
