Year: 1970 - Album: Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon

Written by John Lennon

	  		 Am                          G             Am 
As soon as you're born they make you feel small  
                         G          Am 
By giving you no time instead of it all 
          Am                 G               Am 
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all 
  
      Am                    G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
      Am                   D          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
  
 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 
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules 
  
      Am                    G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
      Am                   G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
  
 Am         G             Em                        Am 
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years 
                         G        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                    G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
      Am                   G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
  
          Am                      G       Am 
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV 
                         G          Em           Am 
And you think you're so clever and classless and free 
                          G          D            Am 
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see 
  
      Am                    G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
      Am                   G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
  
 Am     G           Em                       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 
                            G            Am 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill 
  
      Am                    G          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
      Am                   D          Am 
  A working class hero is something to be 
  
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
