My Back Pages ver. 1 chords *
The Byrds (Bob Dylan)

Capo II

D Dsus4 4x

D    Bm     F#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
    G    A   D
rollin' high and mighty traps
     Bm   F#m
Countless fire on flaming roads,
   G      A
using ideas as my maps
    Bm       F#m
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
G          A
proud 'neath heated brow.
    D       G   D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
  G    A     D
I'm younger than that now.

D      Bm    F#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
   G    A    D
"rip down all hate," I screamed
     Bm   F#m
Lies that life is black and white,
G           A
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Bm        F#m
Romantic facts of musketeers,
  G         A
foundationed deep, somehow.
    D       G   D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
  G    A     D
I'm younger than that now.

   D     Bm    F#m
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
    G    A    D
at the mongrel dogs who teach
         Bm      F#m
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
    G       A
in the instant that I preach
  Bm        F#m
My pathway led by confusion boats,
G          A
mutiny from stern to bow.
    D       G   D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
  G    A     D
I'm younger than that now.


D Bm F#m G A D D Bm F#m G A Bm F#m G A

    D       G   D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
  G    A     D
I'm younger than that now.

    D      Bm    F#m
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
  G   A  D
too noble to neglect
      Bm  F#m
Deceived me into thinking,
   G        A
I had something to protect
D    Bm    F#m
Good and bad, I define these terms,
   G          A
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
    D       G   D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
  G    A     D
I'm younger than that now.

D Dsus4 4x
