Teach Your Children. . . CSN&Y

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL  [IN G]
  G                                  C                          G                           D
  You who are on the road   Must have a code that you can live by
          G                   C                               G                   D
  And so become yourself  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 dreamsThe one they picked, the one you'll know by.
G C G Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, Em C D So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of tender years, Can't know the fears that your elders grew by, So please..... help them with your youth, They seek the truth before they can die.
(Counter Melody: Can you hear and do you care and Cant you see we must be free to Teach your children what you believe in. Make a world that we can live in.)
Teach your parents well, Their children's hell will slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams The one they picked, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
