My Back Pages chords
Bob Dylan
E MajorE 
C# minorC#m 
G# minorG#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
A augmentedA 
BB E MajorE
rollin' high and mighty traps
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Countless fire on flaming roads,
A augmentedA BB
using ideas as my maps
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
A augmentedA BB
proud 'neath heated brow.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm younger than that now.
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
"rip down all hate," I screamed
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Lies that life is black and white,
A augmentedA BB
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Romantic facts of musketeers,
A augmentedA BB
foundationed deep, somehow.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm younger than that now.
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Girls' faces formed the forward path,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
from phony jealousy
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
To memorizing politics,
A augmentedA BB
of ancient history
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Flung down by corpse evangelists,
A augmentedA BB
Un thought of, though, somehow.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm younger than that now.
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
A augmentedA self-ordained professor's tongue,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
too serious to fool
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Spouted out that liberty,
A augmentedA BB
is just equality in school
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
"Equality," I spoke the word,
A augmentedA BB
as if a wedding vow.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm younger than that now.
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
at the mongrel dogs who teach
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
A augmentedA BB
in the instant that I preach
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
My pathway led by confusion boats,
A augmentedA BB
mutiny from stern to bow.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm younger than that now.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm younger than that now.
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
too noble to neglect
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Deceived me into thinking,
A augmentedA BB
I had something to protect
E MajorE C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
Good and bad, I define these terms,
A augmentedA BB
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm younger than that now.
