C] You who are on the [F] road
Must have a [C] code that you can live [G] by
And [C] so become your [F] self
Because the [C] past is just a [G] good-bye.
[C] Teach your children [F] well,
Their father’s [C] hell did slowly go [G] by,
And [C] feed them on your [F] dreams
The one they [C] picks, the one you’ll know [G] by.
[C] Don’t you ever ask them [F] why, if they told you, you will [C] cry,
So just look at them and [Am] sigh [F G ] and know they love [C] you.
And [C] you, of tender [F] years,
Can’t know the [C] fears that your elders [G] grew by,
And so please [C] help them with your [F] youth,
They seek the [C] truth before they [G] can die.
[C] Teach your parents [F] well,
Their children’s [C] hell did slowly go [G] by,
And [C] feed them on your [F] dreams
The one they [C] picks, the one you’ll know [G] by.
[C] Don’t you ever ask them [F] why, if they told you, you will [C] cry,
So just look at them and [Am] sigh [F G ] and know they love [C] you.
