INTRO: D G D A

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 good-bye.

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 will cry,
			  Bm   
So just look at them and sigh
		 D   
and know they love you.


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

 D                       G
And feed them on your dreams

The one they pick?s, the one you'll know by.

D                        G
Can you hear and do you care
	D                A
Can you see we must be free to
D                        G
Teach the children to believe 
	     D                 A
And make a world that we can live in
