Am                       G             Am
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
   Am                    G          Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
         Am                      G          Am
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
  Am                    G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am            G       D            Am
A working class hero is something to be
---------------------------------------------------------
     Am                        G          Am
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
     Am                                 G         Am
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
            Am                         G            Am

             Am                          G          Am
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Am                      G        Am
Then they expect you to pick a career
         Am                           G          Am
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.
        Am                         G             Am
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
           Am                        G            Am
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
    Am                          G            Am
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
       Am                  G            Am
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
  Am                    G            Am
A working class hero is something to be
  Am            G       D            Am
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

Working Class Hero

&quot;Working Class Hero&quot; is a song from John Lennon's first post-Beatles  solo album, 1970's John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.   The song is a take on the class split of the 1940s and 1950s, and of the 1960s in which he was famous. The song appears to tell the story of someone growing up in the working class of capitalism. According to Lennon in an interview with Jann S. Wenner of Rolling Stone magazine in December 1970, it is about working class individuals being processed into the middle classes, into the machine.

Intro (bell rings 3 times)

Our [A] life
To[A+]gether
Is so [F#m/A] precious
To[A+]gether
We have [A] grown
[E7] We have [A] grown [E7]

[E7] Although our [A] love
Is still [A+] special [F#m/A]
[A7] Let&#8217;s take a chance and fly a[D]way
Some[Dm]where
A[A]lone

Tempo change
It&#8217;s [A] been too long since we took the time
No [A+] one&#8217;s to blame I know time flies
So [Bm] quickly [E]

[Bm] But when I [E] see you darling
[C#m(4)] It&#8217;s like we [F#] both are falling in [Bm] love&#8230;again
It&#8217;ll [E] be
Just like starting [A] over [A+]
Starting [A] over [A+]

Every [A] day we used to make it love
[A+] Why can&#8217;t we be making love nice
And [Bm] easy [E]

[Bm] It&#8217;s time to [E] spread our wings and [C#m(4)] fly
Don&#8217;t let an[F#]other day go [Bm] by&#8230;my love
It&#8217;ll [E] be
Just like starting [A] over [A+]
Starting [A] over [G]

[NO CHORD] Why don&#8217;t we take off a[Am]lone
[D7] Take a trip somewhere far [G] far away
[Em] We&#8217;ll be together all a[Am]lone again
[D7] Just like we used to in the [G] early days
[E] Well well [D/F#] dar[E/G#]ling

It&#8217;s [A] been too long since we took the time
No [A+] one&#8217;s to blame I know time flies
So [Bm] quickly [E]

[Bm] But when I [E] see you darling
[C#m(4)] It&#8217;s like we [F#] both are falling in [Bm] love&#8230;again
It&#8217;ll [E] be
Just like starting [A] over [A+]
Starting [A] over [A+]

Our [A] life
To[A+]gether
Is so [F#m/A] precious
To[A+]gether
We have [A] grown [E]
[E] We have [A] grown [E]

[E] Although our [A] love
Is still [A+] special [F#m/A]
[A7] Let&#8217;s take a chance and fly a[D]way
Some[Dm]where
A[A]lone

[A][A+]
repeat vocal ad lib and face

The key was figuring out the opening chords, namely A+ and F#m/A. Once I had that figured out, the rest was easy.

Let me know what you think? I couldn&#8217;t find this tabbed out for ukulele anywhere online.
Hope you enjoy!

(E)Woman is the (G#)nigger of the (C#m)world(E)
(A)Yes she is(A7)...(E)think about it

Women is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it.

G A

(F#m)We make her paint her face and (D)dance
(A)If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't (E)love us
(F#m)If she's real, we say she's trying to be a (D)man
(G)While putting her down we pretend that she's (B)above us

Women is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with

Women is the slave of the slaves
Ah yeh...better scream about it.

sax solo (same chords as chorus)

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldy to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one your with
Women is the slave to the slaves
yeh...think about it

guitar solo (chorus chords)

We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you don't believe me, take a look at the one your with

Women is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it.

(F#M)We make her paint her face and (D)dance. (repeat over and over again)

         D                      Fmaj7               (Am/C)
And your New York walk and your New York talk

Your mother left you when you were small

Well your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies
But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied
Well your teeth are clean but your mind is capped
You leave your smell like an alley cat

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
