WORKING CLASS HERO
Alan Jackson
(Alan Jackson/Don Sampson)
Album: Don't Rock The Jukebox
  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
