My Back Pages chords
Bob Dylan
[E]Crimson [C#m]flames tied [G#m]through my ears,
rollin' [A]high and [B]mighty [E]traps
Countless [C#m]fire on [G#m]flaming roads,
using [A]ideas as my [B]maps
"We'll [C#m]meet on edges, [G#m]soon," said I,
[A]proud 'neath heated [B]brow.
Ah, but [E]I was so much [A]older [E]then,
I'm [A]younger [B]than that [E]now.
[E]Half-wracked [C#m]prejudice [G#m]leaped forth,
"rip [A]down all [B]hate," I [E]screamed
Lies that [C#m]life is [G#m]black and white,
[A]spoke from my skull, I [B]dreamed
[C#m]Romantic facts of [G#m]musketeers,
foun[A]dationed deep, some[B]how.
Ah, but [E]I was so much [A]older [E]then,
I'm [A]younger [B]than that [E]now.
[E]Girls' faces [C#m]formed the [G#m]forward path,
from [A]phony [B]jealou[E]sy
To [C#m]memorizing [G#m]politics,
of [A]ancient histo[B]ry
[C#m]Flung down by corpse e[G#m]vangelists,
Un [A]thought of, though, some[B]how.
Ah, but [E]I was so much [A]older [E]then,
I'm [A]younger [B]than that [E]now.
A [E]self-or[C#m]dained pro[G#m]fessor's tongue,
too [A]serious [B]to [E]fool
Spouted [C#m]out that liber[G#m]ty,
is just [A]equality in [B]school
[C#m]"Equality," I [G#m]spoke the word,
as [A]if a wedding [B]vow.
Ah, but [E]I was so much [A]older [E]then,
I'm [A]younger [B]than that [E]now.
In a [E]soldier's [C#m]stance, I [G#m]aimed my hand,
at the [A]mongrel [B]dogs who [E]teach
Fearing not that [C#m]I'd become my [G#m]enemy,
in the [A]instant that I [B]preach
My [C#m]pathway led by con[G#m]fusion boats,
[A]mutiny from stern to [B]bow.
Ah, but [E]I was so much [A]older [E]then,
I'm [A]younger [B]than that [E]now.
Ah, but [E]I was so much [A]older [E]then,
I'm [A]younger [B]than that [E]now.
Yes, my [E]guard stood [C#m]hard when [G#m]abstract threats,
too [A]noble [B]to ne[E]glect
Deceived me [C#m]into [G#m]thinking,
I had [A]something to pro[B]tect
[E]Good and [C#m]bad, I de[G#m]fine these terms,
quite [A]clear, no doubt, some[B]how?
Ah, but [E]I was so much [A]older [E]then,
I'm [A]younger [B]than that [E]now.
