Capo III

[Intro]
F#m

[Verse]
                             E             F#m
As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
                          E          F#m
By giving you no time, instead of it all
                                  E            F#m
'Til the pain is so big, you feel nothing at all.

[Chorus]
                      E               F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              E       B              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Verse]
                               E          F#m
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
                                        E         F#m
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
                                       E            F#m
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules.

[Chorus]
                      E              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              E       B              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Verse]
                                         E          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              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              E       B              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Verse]
                                 E       F#m
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
                                   E             F#m
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
                                     E            F#m
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see.

[Chorus]
                      E              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              E       B              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Verse]
                                             E     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 the folks on the hill.

[Chorus]
                      E              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              E       B              F#m
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Outro]
                             E           F#m
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
                             E           B
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
