[D] You who are on the [G] road

Must have a [D] code that you can [A] live by

And [D] so become your-[G]-selves

Because the [D] past Is just a [A] goodbye

[D] Teach your children [G] well

Their fathers' [D] hell did slowly [A] go by

And [D] feed them on your [G] dreams

The ones they [D] pick, the ones you'll [A] know by

[D] Don't you ever ask them [G] why

If they told you, you would [D] cry

So just look at them and [Bm] sigh [G][A]

And know they [D] love you

And [D] you of tender [G] years

Can't know the [D] fears that your elders [A] grew by

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

And [D] feed them on your [G] dreams

The ones they [D] pick, the ones you'll [A] know by

[D] Don't you ever ask them [G] why

If they told you, you would [D] cry

So just look at them and [Bm] sigh [G][A]

And know they [D] love you
