Teach Your Children        by Graham Nash



   INTRO: D G D A


   1:

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


   Ch1:

   D                   G
   Teach your children well,
                  D                  A
   Their father's hell did slowly go by,
       D                 G
   And feed them on your dreams:
                D                          A
   The one they pick's the one you'll know by.
   D                       G                               D
   Don't you ever ask them why: if they told you, you will cry,
                            Bm   G A
   So just look at them and sigh,
                      D   G A D
   and know they love you.


   2:

   And you, of tender years,
   Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
   And so please help them with your youth:
   They seek the truth before they can die.


             2 counter-melody:

             Can you hear, and do you care, and
             Can't you see you must be free to
             Teach your children what you believe in (and)
             Make a world that we can live in..


   Ch2:

   Teach your parents well,
   Their children's hell will slowly go by,
   And feed them on your dreams:
   The one they pick's the one you'll know by.
   Don't you ever ask them why:
   If they told you, you will cry,
   So just look at them and sigh,
   And know they love you.
