Capo II

D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 4x

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

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

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

D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA

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

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