My Back Pages chords
Bob Dylan
E C#m G#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
A B E
rollin' high and mighty traps
C#m G#m
Countless fire on flaming roads,
A B
using ideas as my maps
C#m G#m
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
A B
proud 'neath heated brow.
E A E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A B E
I'm younger than that now.
E C#m G#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
A B E
"rip down all hate," I screamed
C#m G#m
Lies that life is black and white,
A B
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
C#m G#m
Romantic facts of musketeers,
A B
foundationed deep, somehow.
E A E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A B E
I'm younger than that now.

E C#m G#m
Girls' faces formed the forward path,
A B E
from phony jealousy
C#m G#m
To memorizing politics,
A B
of ancient history
C#m G#m
Flung down by corpse evangelists,
A B
Un thought of, though, somehow.
E A E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A B E
I'm younger than that now.
E C#m G#m
A self-ordained professor's tongue,
A B E
too serious to fool
C#m G#m
Spouted out that liberty,
A B
is just equality in school
C#m G#m
"Equality," I spoke the word,
A B
as if a wedding vow.
E A E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A B E
I'm younger than that now.
E C#m G#m
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
A B E
at the mongrel dogs who teach
C#m G#m
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
A B
in the instant that I preach
C#m G#m
My pathway led by confusion boats,
A B
mutiny from stern to bow.
E A E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A B E
I'm younger than that now.
E A E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A B E
I'm younger than that now.
E C#m G#m
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
A B E
too noble to neglect
C#m G#m
Deceived me into thinking,
A B
I had something to protect
E C#m G#m
Good and bad, I define these terms,
A B
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
E A E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A B E
I'm younger than that now.
