My Back Pages 30th chords by Bob Dylan

Guitar chords with lyrics

Title:                     MY BACK PAGES           (B.Dylan)
                  30th anniversary concert version


This beautiful version can be found on the "30th Anniversary
Concert Celebration" double disk and on video.
It is sung by Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton,
Bob Dylan himself and George Harrison (at that order).

I compiled this TAB version using lyrics I took from the two CRD
(Tony Ash) and macon@gallifry.Berkeley.EDU (Glen Macon)), and
I tabbed Clapton's solo myself.

 E       C#m        G#m                       A        B    E     E4
 Crimson flames run through my years, ...

 E         C#m      G#m                  A          B
 Countless fire and flaming ...

 C#m                      G#m          A               B
 We'll meet our own edges soon ...

 E         C#m     G#m                    A               B
 Lies that life is black and ...

 C#m                G#m             A               B
 Romantic flanks of musketeers, ...


            CHORUS

 To memorizing politics Of ancient history.
 Flung down by corpse evangelist Unthought of, though,somehow,
