Working Class Hero
John Lennon
| Am | G | Am |
As | soon as you're born they | make you feel | small |
| Am | G | Am |
By | giving you no time in | stead of it | all |
| Am | G | Am |
'til the | pain is so big you feel | nothing at | all |
| Am | G | Am |
A | working class hero is | something to | be |
| Am | G | D | Am |
A | working class | hero is | something to | be |
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school | |
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool | |
'til youre so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years | |
Then they expect you to pick a career | |
When you cant really function you're so full of fear | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv | |
and you think you're so clever and classless and free | |
But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
There's room at the top they're telling you still | |
but first you must learn to smile as you kill | |
If you want to be like the folks on the hill | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
A working class hero is something to be | |
| Am | G | Am |
If you | want to be a hero well | just follow | me |
| Am | G | D | Am |
If you | want to be a | hero | just follow | me |
