xintro : Bm

Bm A Bm
as soon as your born they make you feel small
A5 Bm
by giving you no time instead of it all
A Bm
till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A5 E5 Bm
a working class hero is something to be
A5 E5 Bm
a working class hero is something to be

A5 E5 Bm
they hurt you at home and they hit you at school
A5 Bm
they hate if you’re clever and they despise a fool
A Bm
till you’re so fxxking crazy you can’t follow their rules
A5 E5 Bm
a working class hero is something to be
A5 E5 Bm
a working class hero is something to be

A5 E5 Bm
when they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
A5 Bm
then they expect you to pick a career
A Bm
when you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
A5 E5 Bm
a working class hero is something to be
A5 E5 Bm
a working class hero is something to be

keep you doped with religion and sxx and tv ,
and you think you’re so clever and you’re classless and free ,
but you’re still fxxking peasants as far as i can see ,
a working class hero is something to be
a working class hero is something to be

solo : Bm A5 E5 Bm A E Bm x2

there’s room at the top they are telling you still
but first you must learn how to smile as you kill
if you want to be like all the folks on the hill
a working class hero is something to be
a working class hero is something to be
a working class hero is something to be
a working class hero is something to be

john lennon :
. . if you want to be a hero , well just follow me
if you want to be a hero , well just follow me
