Bob Dylan – My Back Pages chords ver. 4

Capo 3rd fret (original key Eb major)

C       Am          EmCrimson flames tied through my ears
        F        G *)   CRollin' high and mighty traps
C            Am      Em      CPounced with fire on flaming roads
      F     Em    G   *)Using ideas as my maps
       F       Am     G *)        C"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Am                  F GProud 'neath heated brow
        C             Am    CAh, but I was so much older then
    F       G *)      C       G *)I'm younger than that now.

C            Am    EmHalf-cracked prejudice leaped forth
     F        G *)     C"Rip down all hate," I screamed
C         Am      EmLies that life is black and white
F                      G  *)Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
  Am              EmRomantic facts of musketeers
    F                  GFoundationed deep, somehow
        C     Am      Em    FAh, but I was so much older then
    G *)              CI'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, thought, somehow
        C             F     CAh, but I was so much older then
    F       G *)      CI'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
        C             AmAh, but I was so much older then
    F       G *)      CI'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
   Am                  F      CMy existence led by confusion boats
Am          Em       G *)Mutiny from stern to bow
        C     Am      F     CAh, but I was so much older then
    G       *)        CI'm younger than that now.

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