[Verse 1]
D                   G
You, who are on the road,
            D                  Asus4 A Asus2 A
Must have a code, that you can live by.
    D              G
And so, become yourself,
            D              Asus4 A Asus2 A
Because the past, is just a good bye.

[Chorus]
D                   G
Teach your children well,
              D               Asus4 A Asus2 A
Their fathers hell, did slowly go by
    D                  G
And feed, them on your dreams
             D                     A
The one they picks, the one you’ll know by.

[Bridge]
D                       G
Don’t you ever ask them why,
                            D
If they told you, you would cry,
                         Bm   G G A
So just look at them and sigh,
              D
And know they love you.

[Verse 2]
    D                               G
And you,                 of  tender years,
    (Can you hear and)              (Do you care and)
               D                       A
Can’t know the fears, that your elders grew by
              (Can you see we)         (Must be free to)

              D                                   G
And so please help,                them with your youth,
             (Teach your children)               (You believe and)
              D                       A
They seek the truth,      before they can die,
              (Make a world that)    (We can live in)

[Chorus]
D                   G
Teach, your parents well,
                 D                 Asus4 A Asus2 A
Their children’s hell, will slowly go by.
    D                  G
And feed, them on your dreams,
             D                     A
The one they picks, the one you’ll know by.

[Bridge]
D                       G
Don’t you ever ask them why,
                            D
If they told you, you would cry,
                         Bm    G G A
So just look at them and sigh,
              D
And know they love you.
