John Lennon- Working Class Hero Tabs

(ver. 1)
John Lennon
Working Class Hero

There are only two bits of this song really. The first bit may tak beginners a little while to get but it is really an easy song plus it sounds good. You cant go wrong really! For singers: If you're struggling with the key just slap on a capo!

First bit:
A minor (put this shape down to start cos it makes it easier)
E|--------------------------
B|-------1------------------
G|-------2------------------
D|-----------0h2----------
A|--0----------------------
E|--------------------------

Second bit:
Am Am G Am

Simple as that! I've put in the lyrics cos it annoys me when I dont know what to sing. 

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till 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,
Till you're so f*cking 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 f*cking 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.
