Capo V

[Intro]
Em

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

[Chorus]
                      D               Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              D       A              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

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

[Chorus]
                      D              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              D       A              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Verse]
                                         D          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              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              D       A              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

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

[Chorus]
                      D              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              D       A              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Verse]
                                             D     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 the folks on the hill.

[Chorus]
                      D              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              D       A              Em
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be

[Outro]
                             D           Em
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
                             D           A
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
