Teach your children

Song composer: Graham Nash
Lyrics author: Graham Nash


F# B F# C# 
F# B 
You, who are on the road,
F# 
Must have a code
C#2 
That you can live by.
F# B 
And so become yourself,
F# 
Because the past
C#2 
Is just a goodbye.
F# B 
Teach your children well,
F# 
Their father’s hell
C#2 
It slowly goin’ by.
F# B 
And feed them on your dreams,
F# 
The one they picks,
C#2 
The one you’ll know by.
 
           F# B 
            Don’t you ever ask them why,
           F# 
            If they told you, you will cry.
           Ebm B 
            So just look at them and sigh,
           C# F# 
            And know they love you.
B F# C# 
F# B 
And you, of tender years,
F# 
Can’t know the fears
C#2 
That your elders grew by.
F# B 
And so please help them with your dreams,
F# 
They seek the trick
C#2 
Before they can die.
F# B 
Teach your parents well,
F# 
Their children’s hell
C#2 
Will slowly go by.
F# B 
And feed them on your dreams,
F# 
The one they picks
C#2 
The one you’ll know by.
           F# B 
            Don’t you ever ask them why,
           F# 
            If they told you, you will cry.
           Ebm B 
            So just look at them and sigh,
           C# F# 
            And know they love you.
B F# C# F#
