    Hi There!
    
    I am in desperate  need of an arrangement of "Teach Your Children" by
    Crosby, Stills, & Nash.   Gotta have it by this weekend.  ANYBODY OUT
    THERE HAVE ANYTHING?  We'll be performing it with solo  voice  backed
    by  a small choir, with guitar, fiddle (doing the pedal steel  stuff)
    and  probably  keyboard  --- but we'll figure out all of that once we
    have something to go by!
    
    Every place I call says "Huh?" 
    
    Please send me a reply via  EMAIL;    I'll  also  watch  this  space.
    Here's some contact info:
    
        EMAIL:  moosrv::jerickson or maxi::erickson
        FAX:    508-467-7588
        DTN:    297-4143
        
    THANKS! Have a GREAT one!

    It has been a long time, but this should get you in the ball park.
    
    The original guitars may be capoed up a few frets.
    
    
    
    TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
    
    VERSE:
    
    D                     G                  D                  A
    
    Teach your children well, their parents hell will slowly go by
    (repeat)
    
    
     CHORUS:
    
    D                       G                                D
    
    Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would die,
    
                               Bm                   G     A
    
    you just look at them and sigh....and know they love you
     
    
    
    Corrections, additions welcome!

Teach Your Children
Graham Nash
@ BROKEN BIRD MUSIC on Crosby, Stills, Nash "Deja Vu"

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

C  F / C  G ://

Teach you children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And, feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
        And don't ever ask them why - if the tell you,
        You'll just cry so, just look at them and sigh
        And know they love you

C  F / C  G :// C  F / C  Am / FG  C / 

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

        Teach your parents well
        Their children's hell did slowly go by...

Graham Nash
@ BROKEN BIRD MUSIC on Crosby, Stills, Nash "Deja Vu"

    Umm, you should probably say Dsus4, since D+ would typically mean D
    Augmented...

2533.9More wordsESGWST::MIRASSOUHello, bomb, are you with me?Thu Jun 04 1992 23:5042
    The chords from the previous notes look pretty much right.  Here's the
    words, as sung on the album. There are a few differences between these
    and the ones posted in a previous note, plus I've included the harmony
    verse sung under the second verse.  By the way, I'm terrible at
    punctuating song lyrics, but the words are where they belong.
    
    By the way, one thing I like to do is throw in an Ab when moving
    from the G to the A at the end of the Chorus.  I also like to throw
    in a F# base note when moving from the D to the G in the instrumental
    chords after the Chorus.

    Teach Your Children
    
    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 fathers hell did slowly go by
    And feed them on your dreams, the ones they picked,
    	the ones you'll know by
    
    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
    
    (harmony sung underneath the above verse)
    Can you hear and do you care. Do you see they must be free to
    Teach your children you believe they'll
    	make a world that we can live in
    
    Teach your perents well, their childrens hell will slowly go by
    And feed them on your dreams  the ones they picked,
    	the ones you'll know
    
    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

    Thank you so much for this!  This has been driving me crazy for years.
    That first line - I never could hear it right on my scratchy old
    record.

    THANKS to  all  of you who offered your help through EMAIL and FAXes!
    A friend and I  have  worked  up  an  arrangement (based on the sheet
    music) for guitar, fiddle, and two voices that works pretty well. 
    
    Have a GREAT one!
