[Verse1]
As [Am]soon as you're born they [G]make you feel [Am]small
By [Am]giving you no time ins[G]instead of it [Am]all
Till the [Am]pain is so big you feel [G]nothing at [Am]all
A [Am]working class hero is [G]something to [Am]be
A [Am]working class [G]hero is [D]something to [Am]be
[Verse2]
They [Am]hurt you at home and they [G]hit you at [Am]school
They [Am]hate you if you're clever and they [G]despise a [Am]fool
Till you're [Am]so fucking crazy you can't [G]follow their [Am]rules
A [Am]working class hero is [G]something to [Am]be
A [Am]working class [G]hero is [D]something to [Am]be
[Verse3]
When they've [Am]tortured and scared you for [G]twenty odd [Am]years
[Am]Then they expect you to [G]pick a ca[Am]career
When you [Am]can't really function you're [G]so full of [Am]fear
A [Am]working class hero is [G]something to [Am]be
A [Am]working class [G]hero is [D]something to [Am]be
[Verse4]
Keep you [Am]doped with religion and [G]sex and T.[Am]T.V.
And you [Am]think you're so clever and [G]classless and [Am]free
But you're [Am]still fucking peasants as [G]far as I can [Am]see
A [Am]working class hero is [G]something to [Am]be
A [Am]working class [G]hero is [D]something to [Am]be
[Verse5]
There's [Am]room at the top they are [G]telling you [Am]still
But [Am]first you must learn how to [G]smile as you [Am]kill
If you [Am]want to be like the [G]folks on the [Am]hill
A [Am]working class hero is [G]something to [Am]be
A [Am]working class [G]hero is [D]something to [Am]be
[Outro]
If you [Am]want to be a hero well [G]just follow [Am]me
If you [Am]want to be a hero well [G]just follow [D]me [Am]
