[Intro]
Dm


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


[Chorus]
                      C               Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              C       G              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be


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


[Chorus]
                      C              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              C       G              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be


[Verse]
                                         C          Dm
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
                        C      Dm
Then they expect you to pick a career,
                                         C          Dm
When you can't really function you're so full of fear.


[Chorus]
                      C              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              C       G              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be


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


[Chorus]
                      C              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              C       G              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be


[Verse]
                                             C     Dm
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
                                C            Dm
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
                           C            Dm
If you want to be like the folks on the hill.


[Chorus]
                      C              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be
              C       G              Dm
Working Class Hero is somethin' to be


[Outro]
                             C           Dm
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
                             C           G
If you wanna be a hero, well just follow me
