My Back Pages Lyrics

My Back Pages - The Byrds
(12 str)
(riff 1)
verses
(1)crimson flames tied through my ears
(2)half wracked prejudice Leaped forth
(3)in a soldiers stance I aimed my hand
(4)yes my guard stood hard when abstract threats
rolling high and mighty traps
rip down all hate screamed
at the mongrel dogs who teach
too noble to neglect
#m
countless fire on flaming roads
lies that life is black and white
fearing not that id become my enemy
deceived me into thinking
using ideas as my maps
spoke from my skull i dreamed
in the instant that i preach
i had something to protect
well meet on edges soon said i
romantic facts flanks of musketeers
my pathway led sisters fled by confusion boats
good and bad i define these terms
proud beneath heated brow
foundationed deep somehow
mutiny from stern to bow
quite clear no doubt somehow
ah but i was so much older then
A Bsus4 E(w/riff 1)
im younger than that now
