My Back Pages Bob Dylan
Intro: C Csus4 (4X)
[C]Crimson [Am]flames tied [Em]through my ears
Rollin' [F]high and [G]mighty [C]trap
[C]Countless [Am]fire on [Em]flaming road
Using [F]ideas as my [G]maps
"We'll [Am]meet on edges, [Em]soon," said I
[F]Proud 'neath heated [G]brow.
Ah, but [C]I was so much [Am]older [Em]then,
I'm [F]younger [G]than that [C]now.
C Csus4 (2X)
[C]Half-wracked [Am]prejudice [Em]leaped forth
"Rip [F]down all [G]hate," I [C]screamed
[C]Lies that [Am]life is [Em]black and white
Spoke [F]from my skull. I [G]dreamed
Rom[Am]antic flanks of [Em]Musketeers
Found[F]ationed deep, some[G]how.
Ah, but [C]I was so much [Am]older [Em]then,
I'm [F]younger [G]than that [C]now.
C Csus4 (2X)
In a s[C]oldier's [Am]stance, I [Em]aimed my hand
At the [F]mongrel [G]dogs who [C]teach
Fearing [C]not I'd be[Am]come my [Em]enemy
In the [F]instant that I [G]preach
[Am]Existence led by con[Em]fusion boats
[F]Mutiny from stern to [G]bow.
Ah, but [C]I was so much [Am]older [Em]then,
I'm [F]younger [G]than that [C]now.

Ah, but [C]I was so much [Am]older [Em]then,

C Csus4 (2X)
My [C]guard stood [Am]hard when [Em]abstract threats
Too [F]noble [G]to neg[C]lect
Dece[C]ived me [Am]into t[Em]hinking
I had [F]something to pro[G]tect
[Am]Good and bad, I [Em]define these terms
Quite [F]clear, no doubt, some[G]how.
Ah, but [C]I was so much [Am]older [Em]then,
I'm [F]younger [G]than that [C]now.
