Teach Your Children chords
Crosby, Stills and Nash

 C  F  C  G 

 C                  F 
You who are on the road
            C                 G      Gsus4  G 
Must have a code that you can live by
    C             F 
And so become yourself
            C              G      Gsus4  G 
Because the past is just a good-bye.

 C                   F 
Teach your children well,
               C               G    Gsus4  G 
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
    C                 F 
And feed them on your dreams
             C                     G     Gsus4  G 
The one they pick's the one you'll know by.

 C                       F                               C 
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
                         Am  F  G 
So just look at them and sigh
                C      
and know they love you.

 C  F  C  G 

    C              F 
And you, of tender years,
               C                      G     Gsus4  G 
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
       C                          F 
And so please help them with your youth,
              C                 G      Gsus4  G 
They seek the truth before they can die.

 C                  F 
Teach your parents well,
                 C                G    Gsus4  G 
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
    C                 F 
And feed them on your dreams
             C                     G      Gsus4  G 
The one they picks's the one you'll know by.

 C                       F                               C 
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
                         Am  F  
So just look at them and sigh
 G             C       F  C  G 
and know they love you.
