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)

Who is it, who is it, who is it?) 

[Verse 1]

Am                        C      
There you stand with your L.A. tan

         D                      Fmaj7               (Am/C)
And your New York walk and your New York talk

Am                        C
Your mother left you when you were small

           D                     Fmaj7                 Am

Your phone don't ring no one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall 

[Interlude Again]
Am C D Am

[Verse 3]

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 

[Chorus]

Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass

Walls And Bridges

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

       Its so hard for me stayin' here all alone, when you could be takin'
       A                Em                                             A
       Me for a ride... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


        G     D         A    G  D          A
Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

when you're filled with anxiety
