Teach Your Children

Graham Nash

INTRO:         

 DDsus2DG5
 You  who are on the road
 DDsus2DA
Must have a   code that you can live by
 DDsus2DG5
And so  become yourself
 DDsus2DA
Because the past   is just a good-bye.

 DDsus2DG5
 Teach   your children well,
 DDsus2DA
Their father's hell  did slowly go by,
 DDsus2DG5
And feed  them on your dreams
 DDsus2DA
The one they picks  the one you'll know by.

 DDsus2DG5D
 Don't you  ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
 BmG5A
So just look at them and sigh    
 DDsus2G5DDsus2A
and know they love you.     

 DDsus2DG5
And you, of tender years,
 DDsus2D
Can't know the fears  that your elders grew by,
 DDsus2DG5
And so please help them with your youth,
 DDsus2DA
They seek the truth  before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
