	Am	D	G	Am
A wo	rking class h	ero is so	mething 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

Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

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

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

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

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

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

STRUMMING PATTERN:

On the Am, hit the base string (A), then strum a bit. Then hit the open

D string and hammer onto the second fret, strum a bit more, and repeat ad

nauseum. The D chords in paranetheses I sometimes add for

variety, but they don't actually exist on the album.

(from Plastic Ono Band, 1970)
