[Am]

As [Am]soon as you're born 
they [G]make you feel [Am]small
By [Am]giving you no time 
ins[G]tead 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

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

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]reer
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

Keep you [Am]doped with religion 
and [G]sex and T.[Am]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

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

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]
