My Back Pages chords by The Hollies

CAPO: 4

(C)  (Am)    (Em)
Crimson flames tied through my ears
    (F)   (G)  (C)
Rolling high and mighty traps
     (Am)  (Em)
Countless fire on flaming roads
   (F)     (G)
Using ideas as my maps
    Am       Em
"We'll meet on edges, soon", said I
F          G
Proud 'neath heated brow
    C       F   C
Ah, but I was so much older then
  F    G     C
I'm younger than that now

       Am  Em
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
   F    G    C
"Rip down all hate", I screamed
     Am   Em
Lies that life is black and white
F           G
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
 Am       Em
Romantic facts of musketeers
  F        G
Foundation deep, somehow
    C       F   C
Ah, but I was so much older then
  F    G     C
I'm younger than that now


       Am     Em
Girls' faces formed the forward path
   F   G   C
From phoney jealousy
    Am  Em
To memorizing politics
  F      G
Of ancient history
   Am       Em
Flung down by corpse evangelists
 F            G
Unthought of, though, somehow
    C       F   C
Ah, but I was so much older then
  F    G     C
I'm younger than that now


Instrumental: C Am Em F G C Am Em F G Am Em F G


    C       F   C
Ah, but I was so much older then
  F    G     C
I'm younger than that now


        Am    Em
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
  F   G   C
Too noble to neglect
      Am  Em
Deceived me into thinking
   F        G
I had something to protect
C    Am    Em
Good and bad, I define these terms
   F          G
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
    C       F   C
Ah, but I was so much older then
  F    G     C
I'm younger than that now


OUTRO:

I'm younger than that now
  F    G     C
I'm younger than that now
