A working class hero is somethin' to be
That's every verse, except for the very last line, when he ends
it on a very faint D chord, then resolves to an A minor:
Am G D
E -------------------------------3---3-3-3-3---2-------|
B --------1-1-1-1-------1-1-1-1--0---0-0-0-0---3-------|

A ----0--------------------------2---2-2-2-2-----------|
E -------------------------------3---3-3-3-3-----------|
if ya want to be a hero then just follow me...
Am
E --------------------------------------------------------------|
B ---1------------1---------------------------------------------|
G ---2------------2---------------------------------------------|
D ---2------------2---------------------------------------------|
A --------------------------------------------------------------|
E -----------0--------------------------------------------------|
The open E note is a loud pluck, and play that last Am chord
close to the bridge of the guitar and get that tinny, stiff
sound.
Actually, my strumming patterns are approximations; go with
whatever you hear or whatever strumming pattern sounds best. Enjoy...
V1
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
REF
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
V2
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 f*cking crazy you can't follow their rules
REF
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
V3
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
They they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
REF
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
V4
Keep you doped with religion, sex, and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still f*cking peasants as far as I can see
REF
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
V5
There's room at the top, they are tellin' you still
But first you must learn to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
REF
A working class hero is somethin' to be
A working class hero is somethin' to be
If you want to be a hero then just follow me
If you want to be a hero then just follow me...

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
A working class hero is something to be
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 20 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 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
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
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
