My Back Pages chords
Bob Dylan*

[E]_______[C#m]_________[G#m]
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
[A]________[B]______[E]
rollin' high and mighty traps
[C#m]_____[G#m]
Countless fire on flaming roads,
A___________B
using ideas as my maps
C#m____________G#m
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
A___________________B
proud 'neath heated brow.
E_____________A_____E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A_______B_________E
I'm younger than that now.

E____________C#m_______G#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
A________B________E
"rip down all hate," I screamed
C#m_____G#m
Lies that life is black and white,
A______________________B
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
C#m_______________G#m
Romantic facts of musketeers,
A__________________B
foundationed deep, somehow.
E_____________A_____E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A_______B_________E
I'm younger than that now.

E____________C#m________G#m
Girls' faces formed the forward path,
A_____B_____E
from phony jealousy
C#m________G#m
To memorizing politics,
A____________B
of ancient history
C#m___________________G#m
Flung down by corpse evangelists,
A_______________________B
Un thought of, though, somehow.
E_____________A_____E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A_______B_________E
I'm younger than that now.

E______C#m_______G#m
A self-ordained professor's tongue,
A_______B__E
too serious to fool
C#m___________G#m
Spouted out that liberty,
A___________B
is just equality in school
C#m___________G#m
"Equality," I spoke the word,
A____________B
as if a wedding vow.
E_____________A_____E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A_______B_________E
I'm younger than that now.

E_________C#m_______G#m
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
A_______B________E
at the mongrel dogs who teach
C#m___________G#m
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
A______________B
in the instant that I preach
C#m_______________G#m
My pathway led by confusion boats,
A____________________B
mutiny from stern to bow.
E_____________A_____E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A_______B_________E
I'm younger than that now.

E_____________A_____E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A_______B_________E
I'm younger than that now.

E___________C#m_______G#m
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
A_____B____E
too noble to neglect
C#m  G#m
Deceived me into thinking,
A_______________B
I had something to protect
E________C#m______G#m
Good and bad, I define these terms,
A____________________B
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
E_____________A_____E
Ah, but I was so much older then,
A_______B_________E
I'm younger than that now.
