Teach Your Children

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye.
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by.
(beware that tempo changes)
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you
D Bm G A (mute)
would cry,So just look at them and sigh
D G A (mute)
and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,Can't know
the fears that your elders grew by,And so please help them
with your youth,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 dreamsThe one they picked, the one you'll know by.
(tempo changes)
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told
D Bm G A (mute)
you, you would cry,So just look at them and sigh
D G A (mute)
and know they love you
strum D
and know they love you.
