Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You who are on the road

 Must have a code that you can live by

 And so become yourself

 Because the past is just a goodbye.

Teach your children well,

 Their father's hell did slowly go by

 And feed them on your dreams

 The one they picked, the one you'll know by.

(beware that tempo changes)

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.

 And you, of tender years,Can't know

 the fears that your elders grew by,And so please help them

 with your youth,They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,Their

 children's hell will slowly go by,And feed them on

 your dreamsThe one they picked, the one you'll know by.

(tempo changes)

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

  strum

and know they love you.
