Teach Your Children

Crosby, Stills, Nash

Open D	

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
will slowly go by;
and feed them on your dreams,
the ones they picks,
the ones you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why.
If they told you, you would cry;
Bm 
so just look at them and sigh... 
and know they love you.

And you of the tender years
can't know the fears,
that your elders grew by.
And so please help
them with your youth,
they see 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 ones they picks,
the ones you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why.
If they told you, you would cry;
Bm 
so just look at them and sigh... 
and know they love you.
