Working Class Hero / John Lennon ~ lyrics and guitar chords

Working Class Hero

John Lennon

Am add4  Am add4
          Am                           add4         G                      Am   add4  Am add4
             As soon as you're born they make you feel small
             By giving you no time instead of it all
             Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

                                     Am                                      G                Am add4  Am add4
                                 A working class hero is something to be
                                    Am                  G          D                        Am add4  Am add4
                                 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 you're 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 can't 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 you're 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 are telling you still
             But first you must learn how 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

             If you want to be a hero well just follow me
                        Am               add4        G                 D     Am    (E) Am
             If you want to be a hero well just follow me...
