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
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

    Am                    G          Am
A working class hero is something to be
    Am                   G          Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am                             G           Am
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
         G         Am
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
        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          Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am         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

    Am                    G          Am
A working class hero is something to be
    Am                   G          Am
A working class hero is something to be

        Am                      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

    Am                    G          Am
A working class hero is something to be
    Am                   G          Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am 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

    Am                    G          Am
A working class hero is something to be
    Am                   G          Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am                             G          Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Am                             G          Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
