[A] [E] .
[B] [E] You who are [A] on the road must have [E] a code that [B] you can live [F#m] by.
[E] And so become [A] yourself because [E] the past is [B] just a goodbye.
[E] Teach your [A] children well, their [E] father's hell did [B] slowly go by.
[E] And feed them on [A] your dreams, the one [E] they'd miss, the one [B] 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 [E] know they love [A] you .
[E] [B] .
[E] And can you hear, [A] will you care, can [E] you see.
That your [B] elders grew by, and [E] so please help your children.
[A] With your youth, they [E] seek the truth, before [B] they can die .
[E] 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'd miss, 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.
