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