Intro: D Dsus D Dsus D Dsus D Dsus (4x)
The Chords remain the same for all verses.
I use barre chords for the B minor and G major chords. Though not necessary.
Progression as follows: D Dsus Bm Gmaj A
The Dsus chord achieved by placing Pinky finger on E string 3rd fret while playing D chord.
[D]Crimson flames tied [Bm]through my ears
Rollin' [Gmaj]high and mighty [A]trapped.
[D]Pounced with fire and [Bm]flaming roads
[Gmaj]Using ideas as my [A]maps
[D]We'll meet on edges [Bm]soon said I
[Gmaj]Proud neath heated [A]brow.
Ah, But [D]I was so much [Bm]older then
I'm [Gmaj]younger [A]than that [D]now.[Dsus] [D] [Dsus]
[D]Half wracked prejudice [Bm]leaped forth
Rip [Gmaj]down all hate I [A]screamed.
[D]Lies that life is [Bm]black and white
[Gmaj]Spoke from my skull I [A]dreamed.
[D]Romantic facts of [Bm]musketeers
Foun[Gmaj]dationed deep [A]somehow.
Ah, but [D]I was so much [Bm]older then
I'm [Gmaj]younger [A]than that [D]now.[Dsus] [D] [Dsus]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bob_dylan/my_back_pages_crd_ver_3.html )
[Dsus]Girls [D]faces formed the forward[Bm] path
From [Gmaj]phony jealous[A]y
To [D]memorizing [Bm]politics of [Gmaj]ancient histor[A]y.
Flung [D]down by corpse e[Bm]vangelists
Un[Gmaj]thought of though some[A]how
Ah, but [D]I was so much [Bm]older then
I'm [Gmaj]younger [A]than that [D]now.[Dsus] [D] [Dsus]
[Dsus]A [D]self ordained pro[Bm]fessor's tongue
Too [Gmaj]serious to [A]fool
[D]Spouted out that [Bm]liberty
is just e[Gmaj]quality in [A]school.
E[D]quality, I [Bm]spoke the word
As [Gmaj]if a wedding [A]vow.
Ah, but [D]I was so much [Bm]older then
I'm [Gmaj]younger [A]than that [D]now.[Dsus] [D] [Dsus]
[Dsus]In [D]a soldiers stance, I [Bm]aimed my hand
At the [Gmaj]mongrel dogs who [A]teach
Fearing [D]not I'd become thy [Bm]enemy
In the [Gmaj]instant that I [A]preach.
My exi[D]stence led by con[Bm]fusion boats
[Gmaj]Mutiny from stern to [A]bow.
Ah, but [D]I was so much [Bm]older then
I'm [Gmaj]younger [A]than that [D]now.[Dsus] [D] [Dsus]
[D]My guard stood hard with [Bm]abstract threats
Too [Gmaj]noble to neg[A]lect
De[D]ceived me into [Bm]thinking
I had [Gmaj]something to pro[A]tect.
[D]Good and bad, I de[Bm]fine these terms
Quite [Gmaj]clear, no doubt, some[A]how.
Ah, but [D]I was so much [Bm]older then
Gmaj A D Dsus D Dsus to fade
I'm younger than that now.
