The Byrds (Bob Dylan)
Capo II
D Dsus4 4x
D Bm F#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears,
G A D
rollin' high and mighty traps
Bm F#m
Countless fire on flaming roads,
G A
using ideas as my maps
Bm F#m
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I,
G A
proud 'neath heated brow.
D G D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
G A D
I'm younger than that now.
D Bm F#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
G A D
"rip down all hate," I screamed
Bm F#m
Lies that life is black and white,
G A
spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Bm F#m
Romantic facts of musketeers,
G A
foundationed deep, somehow.
D G D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
G A D
I'm younger than that now.
D Bm F#m
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand,
G A D
at the mongrel dogs who teach
Bm F#m
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy,
G A
in the instant that I preach
Bm F#m
My pathway led by confusion boats,
G A
mutiny from stern to bow.
D G D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
G A D
I'm younger than that now.
D Bm F#m G A D D Bm F#m G A Bm F#m G A
D G D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
G A D
I'm younger than that now.
D Bm F#m
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats,
G A D
too noble to neglect
Bm F#m
Deceived me into thinking,
G A
I had something to protect
D Bm F#m
Good and bad, I define these terms,
G A
quite clear, no doubt, somehow?
D G D
Ah, but I was so much older then,
G A D
I'm younger than that now.
D Dsus4 4x
