Teach Your Children

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