WORKING CLASS HERO- John Lennon Am G Am As soon as you're born they make you feel small G Am By giving you no time instead of it all G Am Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all Am (D) G Am A working class hero is something to be Am (D) G Am 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 Till you're so f**king 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 T.V. And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still f**king 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 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) |
