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