[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
G Am
As soon as your 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
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
G D Am
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
G Am
They hate if you're clever and they despise a fool
G Am
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
[Pre-Chorus]
G D 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
[Chorus]
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
G D Am
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
G Am
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,
G Am
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
[Solo]
Am G D Am G D Am 2x
[Pre-Chorus]
G D 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 all the folks on the hill
[Chorus]
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
G D Am
A working class hero is something to be
