D You who are on the G road
Must have a D code that you can A live by A7
And D so become yourGself
Because the D past is just a A goodbye
D Teach your children G well
Their father's D hell did slowly A go by A7
And D feed them on your G dreams
The one they D picks the one you'll A know by
D Don't you ever ask them G why
If they told you you will D cry
So just look at them and Bm sigh G A
And know they D love you G D A A7
And D you of tender G years
Can't know the D fears that your elders A grew by A7*
And so please D help them with your G youth
They seek the D truth before they A can die
D Teach your parents G well
Their children's D hell will slowly A go by A7
And D feed them on your G dreams
The one they D picks the one you'll A know by
D Don't you ever ask them G why
If they told you you will D cry
So just look at them and Bm sigh G A
And know they D love you G D A D
