My Back Pages chords
Bob Dylan 1964 *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Back_Pages
Crimson
flames tied
through my ears,
rollin'
high and
mighty
traps
Pounced with
fire on
flaming roads,
using
ideas as my
maps
"We'll
meet on edges,
soon," said I,
proud 'neath heated
brow.
Ah, but
I was so much
older
then,
I'm
younger
than that
now.
Half-wracked
prejudice
leaped forth,
"Rip
down all
hate," I
screamed
Lies that
life is
black and white,
spoke from my skull, I
dreamed
Romantic facts of
musketeers,
foun
dationed deep, some
how.
Ah, but
I was so much
older
then,
I'm
younger
than that
now.
Girls' faces
formed the
forward path,
from
phony
jealou
sy
To
memorizing
politics,
of
ancient histo
ry
Flung down by corpse e
vangelists,
Un
thought of, though, some
how.
Ah, but
I was so much
older
then,
I'm
younger
than that
now.
A
self-or
dained pro
fessor's tongue,
too
serious
to
fool
Spouted
out that liber
ty,
is just
equality in
school
"Equality," I
spoke the word,
as
if a wedding
vow.
Ah, but
I was so much
older
then,
I'm
younger
than that
now.
In a
soldier's
stance, I
aimed my hand,
at the
mongrel
dogs who
teach
Fearing not I'd
become my
enemy,
in the
instant that I
preach
My
existence led by
confusion boats,
mutiny from stern to
bow.
Ah, but
I was so much
older
then,
I'm
younger
than that
now.
Yes, my
guard stood
hard when
abstract threats,
too
noble
to ne
glect
Deceived me
into
thinking,
I had
something to pro
tect
Good and bad, I de
fine these terms,
quite
clear, no doubt, some
how
Ah, but
I was so much
older
then,
I'm
younger
than that
now.
