Capo II

D Dsus4 4x

D       Bm          F#mCrimson flames tied through my ears,
        G        A      Drollin' high and mighty traps
          Bm      F#mCountless fire on flaming roads,
      G           Ausing ideas as my maps
       Bm             F#m"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
G                   Aproud 'neath heated brow.
        D             G     DAh, but I was so much older then, 
    G       A         DI'm younger than that now.

D            Bm        F#mHalf-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
     G        A        D"rip down all hate," I screamed
          Bm      F#mLies that life is black and white,
G                      Aspoke from my skull, I dreamed
Bm                F#mRomantic facts of musketeers,
    G                  Afoundationed deep, somehow.
        D             G     DAh, but I was so much older then, 
    G       A         DI'm younger than that now.

     D         Bm        F#mIn a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
       G       A        Dat the mongrel dogs who teach
                 Bm            F#mFearing not that I'd become my enemy,
       G              Ain the instant that I preach
   Bm                F#mMy pathway led by confusion boats,
G                    Amutiny from stern to bow.
        D             G     DAh, but I was so much older then, 
    G       A         DI'm younger than that now.

        D             G     DAh, but I was so much older then, 
    G       A         DI'm younger than that now.

        D           Bm        F#mYes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
    G     A    Dtoo noble to neglect
            Bm   F#mDeceived me into thinking,
      G               AI had something to protect
D        Bm       F#mGood and bad, I define these terms,
      G                    Aquite clear, no doubt, somehow?
