 Title:				MY BACK PAGES		            (B. Dylan)
 
 		E E5 E E5
 		
 	    E       C#m        G#m                       A      B      E     E5
 	    Crimson flames run through my years, flowing high & mighty trapped
 	    E         C#m      G#m                 A           B
 	    Countless fire and flaming rope, using ideas as my map
 	    C#m                      G#m          A               B
 	    We'll meet our own edges soon said I, proud me beaded brow
 
 
 		           E             A     E
 	    CHORUS: Ah but I was so much older then
 		        A       B         E   E5 E E5
 		    I'm younger than that now.
 
 
 	    E         C#m       G#m              A        B      E     E5
 	    Half ripe prejudice leapt forth, rip down all hate I scream
 	    E         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 flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow
 
 	    CHORUS
 
 	    E             C#m      G#m                A       B        E   E5
 	    In a soldiers stance I aim my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
 	    E              C#m       G#m          A              B
 	    During night I become my enemy in the instant that I preach
 	    C#m             G#m              A                    B
 	    Sisters fled by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow
  
 	    CHORUS
 
 	    E               C#m       G#m                 A     B    E    E5
 	    The guard stood hard when abstract prints too nobel to neglect
 	    E           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 define these terms, why clear, no doubt, somehow.

   D       Bm     G     D                    
 Crimson flames tied through my ears
 
          G         D    Em7      A7
 Rollin' high and mighty traps...      
 
   D           Bm     G     D
 Pounced with fire on flaming roads
 
       G      D     Em7      A7
 Using i-deas as my maps...
 
         D         F#m  G          D
 We'll meet on edges, soon said, I,
 
  Em7         A7  Em7         A7
 Proud 'neath heated brow...
 
         D     D7       G     D
 Ah, but I was so much older then
 
      Em7      A7   G    D
 I'm young-er than that now.
 
 
 Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth,
 Rip down all hate, I screamed,
 Lies that life is black and white
 Spoke from my skull I dreamed.
 Romantic facts of musketeers
 Foundationed deep, somehow,
 Ah, but I was so much older then,
 I'm younger than that now.
 
 Girl's faces formed the forward path
 >From phony jealousy,
 To memorizing politics
 Of ancient history.
 Flung down by corpse evangelist
 Unthought of, though, somehow,
 Ah, but I was so much older then,
 I'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
 Ah, but I was so much older then,
 I'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.
 My pathway led by confusion boats
 Mutiny from stern to bow
 Ah, but I was so much older then,
 I'm younger than that now.
 
 Yes, my guards 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,
 Ah, but I was so much older then,
 I'm younger than that now.
 
 
 
 
 ....I think Dylan did it in Eb...
 ....The Byrds left out the 3rd and 4th verse in their
 Rendition...
 ....Amazing isn't it; a song thirty years old and still
 Just as relevant today.
