Tuning: capo on the second fret
[Verse]
Asus2 G Asus2
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
Asus2 G Asus2
By giving you no time instead of it all
Asus2 G Asus2
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
[Hook]
Asus2 G D Asus2
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
Asus2 G Asus2
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
Asus2 G Asus2
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Asus2 G Asus2
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
[Hook]
Asus2 G D Asus2
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Asus2 G Asus2
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Asus2 G Asus2
Then they expect you to pick a career
Asus2 G Asus2
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
[Chorus]
Asus2 G D Asus2
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Verse]
Asus2 G Asus2
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
Asus2 G Asus2
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
Asus2 G Asus2
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
[Hook]
Asus2 G D Asus2
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Asus2 G Asus2
There's room at the top they are telling you still
Asus2 G Asus2
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
Asus2 G Asus2
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
[Chorus]
Asus2 G D Asus2
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Asus2 G D Asus2
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
