Teach Your Children
Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young
Created by: Joseph Cadavos

INTRO:
 D G D A

I:
 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 goodbye.

 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
 Don’t you ever ask them why,
                             D
 If they told you, you would cry,
                          Bm  - G A
 So just look at them and sigh,
              "ADLIB"
 And know they love you.

ADLIB:
 D G D A

II:
     D               G
 And you, of  tender years,
(Can you hear and, Do you care and)
                D                       A
 Can’t know the fears, that your elders grew by
(Can you see we, Must be free to)
               D                    G
 And so please help, them with your youth,
(Teach your children)(You believe and)
               D                  A
 They seek the truth, before they can die,
(Make a world, That we can live in)

 D                   G
 Teach, your parents well,
                  D                 A
 Their children’s hell, will 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
 Don’t you ever ask them why,
                             D
 If they told you, you would cry,
                          Bm  - G A
 So just look at them and sigh,
              "ENDING"
 And know they love you.

ENDING:
 D G | D(A)D(E,F#)D(A,D,A)D
