Lyrics:
MY BACK PAGES The Byrds Words and Music by Bob Dylan
Intro: E Esus4 (repeat 4 times)
E C#m Abm Crimson flames tied through my ears A B E Rollin' high and mighty traps E C#m Abm Pounced with fire on flaming roads A B Using ideas as my maps C#m Abm 'We'll meet on edges, soon,' said I A B Proud 'neath heated brow. E A E Ah, but I was so much older then, A B E (intro riff twice) I'm younger 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 [flanks] of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, bI'm younger than that now. [The next two verses were left out by The Byrds] Girls' faces formed the forward path From phony jealousy To memorizing politics Of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists 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. [The Byrds pick it up here] 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 [Sisters fled] by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. [12-string guitar solo followed by the refrain] Yes, my guard 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
