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