(D)You

who are on the road

must have a (D)code

that you can (A)live by,

and (D)so

be come your (G7)self,

be cause the past

is just a good bye.

(D)Teach

your chil dren (G7)well;

their fa ther’s (D)hell

did slow ly go by.

And (D)feed

them on your (G7)dreams,

the one they (D)pick,

the one you’ll know by.

Don’t you ev er ask them (G)why;

if they told you, you would (D)cry,

so just look at them and (Bm)sigh

and know they (D)love

you.

(D)Can you

(A)must be

free to

(D)teach your

chil dren?

(G)You’ll be

lieve they’ll

(D)make a

world that

(A)we can

free to

live in.
