Verse 1 

Am                        G             Am
As soon as your born they make you feel small
Am                        G         Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
Am                                G          Am
Until the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

Chorus

Am              G       D            Am
A working class hero is something to be
Am              G       D            Am
A working class hero is something to be

Verse 2

Am                             G          Am
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
Am                                      G         Am
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Am                                      G            Am
Until you're so ***ing crazy you can't follow their rules

Chorus

Verse 3

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

Chorus

Verse 4

Am                               G       Am
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
Am                                 G             Am
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
Am                                   G            Am
But you're still ***ing peasants as far as I can see

Chorus

Verse 5

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

Chorus

Outro

Am                            G           Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Am                            G           Am
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
