E
A callused right hand
A E
Holds a shiny gold watch
B A E
For thirty years sp ent on the clock
But you won't see no tears
A E
From this workin' class hero
B A B
He's always been hard as a rock
E
But he knows he's too old
A E
To really start over
B A E
Bes ides he just wouldn't know how
I guess he's just glad
A E
That he's not al one
B A E
But he's got to wonder what now
A D E
'Cause there's no hall of fame for that working class hero
A D E
No statute carved out of st one
A D E
And his greatest re ward is the love of a woman
D
And his children
E
So after he's gone
D E A
That old working class hero lives on
E
That three-bedroom house
A E
He built in the '50s
B A E
Seems so much bigger to day
With just him and mama
A E
And not many bills
B A E
'Cause all of the kids moved a way
E
What he's done with his life
A E
Might not be re membered
B A E
But he's got every right to be proud
'Cause the blood sweatin' years
A E
Of this workin' class hero
B A E
Is really what livin's a bout
[Chorus]
D E A
That working class hero lives on
D E A
That working class hero lives on
