John Lennon - Working Class Hero Chords

[intro]
Am

[verse 1]
   Am
As soon as you're born they
G             Am
make you feel small
   Am                    G          Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
         Am
Till the pain is so big you feel
G          Am
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
They hurt you at home and they
G          Am
hit you at school
     Am
They hate you if you're clever and they
G         Am
despise a fool
            Am
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't
G            Am
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
When they've tortured and scared you for
G          Am
twenty odd years
Am                      G        Am
Then they expect you to pick a career
         Am
When you can't really function you're
G          Am
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
Keep you doped with religion and
G         Am
sex and T.V.
        Am
And you think you're so clever and
G             Am
classless and free
           Am
But you're still fucking peasants as
G            Am
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
There's room at the top they are
G           Am
telling you still
    Am
But first you must learn how to
G            Am
smile as you kill
       Am
If you want to be like the
G            Am
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
If you want to be a hero well
G           Am
just follow me
       Am
If you want to be a hero well
G           D          Am
just follow me
