[Intro]
Gm
[Verse]
F Gm
As soon as your born they make you feel small
F Gm
By giving you no time instead of it all
F Gm
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
F C Gm
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
F Gm
They hate if you're clever and they despise a fool
F Gm
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
[Pre-Chorus]
F C Gm
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
F Gm
Then they expect you to pick a career
F Gm
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
[Chorus]
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
F C Gm
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
F Gm
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,
F Gm
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
[Solo]
Gm F C Gm F C Gm 2x
[Pre-Chorus]
F C Gm
There's room at the top they are telling you still
F Gm
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
F Gm
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
[Chorus]
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
F C Gm
A working class hero is something to be
