Chords for Teach Your Children (with Lyrics) - Kathy Mattea, Alison Krauss, and Suzy Boggus

On that album Kathy and Susie Boggess and Alison Krauss got together with Crosby, Stills and Nash
To sing a tune that won all of them a Grammy nomination
It's a song with a very special [N] story _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ You
Who are [A] on the road?
Must [E] have a goal
That [B] you can live by _
[E] And so
_ [A] Become yourself
Because [E] the past is [B] just a goodbye _
_ [E] Teach your [A] children well
Their [E] father's hell
[B] Did slowly go by
[E] And feed them on [A] your dreams
The one [E] they've missed
The [B] one you'll know by
_ [E] _ Don't you ever ask [A] them why?
If they told you [E] you would cry
So just look at [C#m] them and sigh
_ [A] _ _ [B] And know they [E] love you
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] And in
A [A] ten year You can't
[E] Ignore the fears
That [B] you'll see
That your elders grew by
And [E] so please help them
Your children
[A] _ You'll believe
They [E] seek the thing
Of worlds [B] that we can't [E] live
Before they can die Teach
Your [A] parents well
Their [E] children's hell
Will [B] slowly go by
[E] And feed
Them [A] on your dreams
The [E] one they've missed
The [B] one you'll know by
_ _ [E] _ Don't you ever [A] ask them why?
If they told you [E] you would cry
So just look at [C#m] them and sigh
_ _ [A] _ _ [B]
And [E] know they love you
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _
