_ _ _ Oh, she's gone to do it.
She's coming in.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[A] Hello.
_ _ [B] I just wanted you to go on [Am] A&R, yes.
[N] _ _ _ _ OK, I'll try.
OK? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I was raised by my auntie.
My father and my mother split when I was about four.
I spent [Am] some time with my mother up till about four.
Then I was brought up by an auntie. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ When I was 16, [E] I re-established a relationship with my mother for about [A] four years.
She taught me [Am] music.
She first of all taught me the banjo, and from that I progressed to guitar.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] It's a joke in the family, guitar's alright for a hobby, but it won't earn you any money.
As [Am] _ _ _ soon as you're born, [G] they make you feel [Am] small _ _
_ _ _ _ By giving you no time [G] instead of it [Am] all
Till [A] _ _ _ _ _ the pain is so big you [G] feel nothing at [A] all _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] A working class hero [G] is something to be
[A] _ [Am] A _ _ _ _ _ _ working [G] class hero [D] is something to be
[A] _ _ _
_ You know, you went to see those movies with Elvis or somebody in it when we were still in Liverpool
And you'd see everybody [E] waiting to see him, right?
And I'd be waiting there too.
[A] And they'd all scream when he came on the screen.
So we thought, that's a good job. _ _ _ _
They hurt you at [Am] home, [G] and they hit you at [Am] school
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] They hate you if you're clever, [G] and they despise [Am] a fool
_ _ _ I saw a man on a flaming pie, and he said, you're Beatles with an A, and we are _
Till you're so fucking crazy you [G] can't follow their [Am] rules
A _ _ _ _
_ [A] working class hero is [G] something to be
[A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
A working class [G] hero [D] is something to [Am] be _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person
Or God [A] as a thing, or whatever it is
I just said what I said, and it was wrong, or was taken wrong, and now it's all this
[Am] _ _ _ _
When they've tortured and scared you [Em] for twenty-odd years
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then they expect you [G] to pick a career
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When you can't really function, you're [G] so full of fear
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ A working class hero is [G] something to [A] be _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ A working [G] class hero [D] is something to be
[Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ I walked up this ladder, and from too little right, he just said yes
If he'd have said no, I would have left the coach and carried on
Because he was positive, he said yes
I thought, ok, the first show I've been to that said something, you know, warm to them
And that's when we met
_ _ Keep _ you doped with religion, [G] and sex, and TV
[Am] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ And you think you're so clever [G] and classless [A] and [Am] free _ _
_ _ _ _ But you're still fucking peasants as [G] far as I can [A] see
_ You
_ _ [Am] _ _ A working class hero [G] is something to [Am] be _ _ _
_ _ _ _ A working [G] class hero [D] is something to be
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ The Naked album cover, that was one of the first things we did
We felt like two virgins, that's what the album was called
_ _ _ _ _ _ This room at the top, they are [G] telling you still
[Am] _ But _ _ _ _ _ _ first you must learn [G] how to smile as you [Am] kill _ _
_ _ _ _ _ If you want to be like [G] the folks on [A] the hill _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ A working class hero is [G] something to [Am] be _ _ _
_ _ _ _ A working [G] class hero [D] is something to [Am] be _ _
[A] The people keep talking about it as if it's the end of the earth
It's only a rock group that split up, it's nothing important
You know, you have all the old records there if you want to reminisce
_ _ _ A working class hero [G] is something to [A] be _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
A working [G] class hero [A] is something to be
[E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Sean was born on October the 9th, which I was, so we're [D] almost like twins _
_ I didn't really think about music at all, my guitar was sort of hung up behind the bed, literally
And I [A] just don't think I took it down [D] in five years
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ If you want to be a hero, well [G] just follow [A] me _ _
_ _ _ _ If you want to be a hero, [G] well just follow [A] me _
I still [E] believe all you need is love
I still believe in the fact that love is what we all need
