WORKING CLASS HERO- John Lennon

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

 Am              G                        Am
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
     C                  G                         Am
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
 Am                    G                            Am
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am              G                        Am
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
     C                  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
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am                  G                    Am
Keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V.
        C               G                        Am
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
Am                       G                        Am
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be

Am                  G                        Am
There's room at the top they are telling you still
     C                          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
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am            D       G            Am
A working class hero is something to be

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