Nice cover, mate. Curious as to why you left out the swear words. Not that I think swearing in songs is especially clever unless they add meaning or comedy, but the sneering way in which Lennon sings 'you're all f*****g peasants...' is probably the key line in the song, imo. Keep rockin'
I was trying to find a version without it, and I came upon this version. The only reason I needed an edited version is for a Sociology class. We're talking about social classes. And I love John Lennon...so I needed a school appropriate version. But I agree, the cursing makes the song.
@assfangitron the point of covering a song exactly the same as the original is honoring the song copying (also known as covering) it instead of getting your ego getting to far by making something from the original. It always depends on what you're intentions are
Well done mate thats the only correct version that I have seen on youtube so far. Everyone seems to sneak in a D chord for some reason. I think becouse they cannot get the nice hammer on that you have achieved. Well done it sounds good!
@HooHeeHaHa I guess its a matter of opinion and most would disagree with me on this but I really liked Ozzie's version the best... lol anything is better than masons version though
Hello, Thanks for your comments. I'm playing the 5th string in Am, strumming a bit, then hammering on the 4th string with my 2nd finger. I think the chord is a D9 but its basically just Am with the 2nd finger off. Cheers, Colin
Omfg you're great.

what's the point of covering a song by playing/singing it exactly the same as the original?!
also pull your sleeve down.

I'll take the fact that I played/sang it "exactly" the same as John Lennon as a great compliment - Thank you!

I'm pretty sure there's a D chord in the chorus... Am - G - D
jegblirgal 2 years ago
Why are you pretty sure of that?
woodenacoustic 2 years ago
Because i helped lennon write the song!
Nah, but i listened to the chorus over and over, and tried to play along, and it was the only thing that sounded right to me :P
jegblirgal 2 years ago
If it sounds good to you play it that way it's your song then.
Do you not think that this cover sounds good without the D then?
woodenacoustic 2 years ago
yeah bye every second "a working class hero is something to be" comes by "hero" a G and bye "something" the D accord
but i play this song too without D because i don't come so high with my voice XD
but it sounds great too without a D accourd^^
r4nger92 2 years ago
@r4nger92 Yeah it's not got a D on the album version.
I doin't like to mess with this song, no cover has ever been as good as the original, even the guitar in that is laden with emotion.
