My Back Pages - Bob Dylan

E C#m G#m A B
Pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my map 
C#m G#m A B
We'll meet on edges soon said I proud neath heated brow 
B E A E A B E
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now 
E C#m G#m A B E
Half wrecked prejudice leaped forth rip down all hate I screamed 
C#m G#m A B
Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull I dreamed 
C#m G#m A B
Romantic facts of musketeers foundations deep somehow 
B E A E A B E
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now 
E C#m G#m A B E
In a soldiers stance I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach 
C#m G#m A B
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach 
C#m G#m A B
My pathway led by confusions boat mutiny from stern to bow 
B E A E A B E
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now 
E C#m G#m A B7 E
My guards stood high when abstract threats too noble to neglect 
C#m G#m A B
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect 
C#m G#m A B
Good and bad I defined these terms quite clear no doubt somehow 
B E A E A B E
Ah but I was so much older then I'm younger than that now
