Guitar chords and lyrics are HERE:

This is more or less but not exactly how I play it with the hammer-on of the middle finger on the Am chord.

[Intro]



  Am  





[Verse 1]



   Am                       G             Am

As soon as you're born they make you feel small

   Am                    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            G       D            Am

A working class hero is something to be





[Verse 2]



     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       D            Am

A working class hero is something to be





[Verse 3]



             Am                          G          Am

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years

Am                      G        Am

Then they expect you to pick a career

         Am                           G          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       D            Am

A working class hero is something to be





[Verse 4]



         Am                      G         Am

Keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V.

        Am                         G             Am

And you think you're so clever and classless and free

           Am                        G            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       D            Am

A working class hero is something to be





[Verse 5]



        Am                       G           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

       Am                  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            G       D            Am

A working class hero is something to be





[Outro]



       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 well just follow me
