Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
What  was learned from my father, yes I'll teach it to my son
What  was learned from my mother, yes I'll teach it to my daughter
For  you must remember my friend, the line of history stretches far beyond we
And  still we stand time, and time again as a tribute to them
 (we'll call this the pre-chorus)
Well  now tell me if there's  one thing that you're  wanting, you  gotta let me know
Tell  me something, tell  me anything, why  did they all have to go
 For if there's  one thing, that  you're wanting,  you gotta let me know
Say  something,  say anything,  before I have to go, for Zion is awaiting
 (chorus)
Jah  people in this life,  you got to be head strong,  head strong
Teach  your children right,  or they won't live  too long, too long
Jah  people in this life,  you got to be head strong,  head strong
Live  up in the right,  or you won't live too  long, too long
(Right  here  there  there is  a long  instrumental  part  with  the singer singing just a few
 things in the distance, play those chords until it ends)
What  was learned from my father, yes I'll teach it to my daughter
What  was learned from my mother, yes I'll teach it to my son
For  it was them who said, don't get mixed up in your knowledge of today...
 (And then head on back up to the pre-chorus and chorus for one more round, and that's it.)
 1st Groundation song submitted, I hope someone enjoys this.
