Teach your children

Song composer: Graham Nash
Lyrics author: Graham Nash


A D A E 
A D 
You, who are on the road,
A 
Must have a code
E2 
That you can live by.
A D 
And so become yourself,
A 
Because the past
E2 
Is just a goodbye.
A D 
Teach your children well,
A 
Their father’s hell
E2 
It slowly goin’ by.
A D 
And feed them on your dreams,
A 
The one they picks,
E2 
The one you’ll know by.
 
           A D 
            Don’t you ever ask them why,
           A 
            If they told you, you will cry.
           F#m D 
            So just look at them and sigh,
           E A 
            And know they love you.
D A E 
A D 
And you, of tender years,
A 
Can’t know the fears
E2 
That your elders grew by.
A D 
And so please help them with your dreams,
A 
They seek the trick
E2 
Before they can die.
A D 
Teach your parents well,
A 
Their children’s hell
E2 
Will slowly go by.
A D 
And feed them on your dreams,
A 
The one they picks
E2 
The one you’ll know by.
           A D 
            Don’t you ever ask them why,
           A 
            If they told you, you will cry.
           F#m D 
            So just look at them and sigh,
           E A 
            And know they love you.
D A E A
