Working Class Hero Chords

 
Am                           D            Am
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
Am                       D            Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
Am                                   D        Am
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
Am                           D       Am
A working class hero is something to be
Am                 D         G       Am

Am                             D               Am
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
Am                                   D               Am
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Am                                     D                Am
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
Am                            D        Am

Am                                           D          Am
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Am                      D           Am
Then they expect you to pick a career
Am                                       D          Am
When you can't really function you're so full of fear

Am                               D         Am
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
Am                                      D           Am
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
Am                                   D              Am
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
Am                            D       Am
A working class hero is something to be
Am                D           G       Am

Am                                          D      Am
There's room at the top they are telling you still
Am                                 D            Am
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
Am                               D         Am
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
Am                            D       Am

Am                D           G       Am
A working class hero is something to be
 
Am                            D            Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Am                            D           Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
