Capo 3

[Intro]

C

[Verse 1]

C              Am              Em
Crimson flames tied through my ears
       F                   G        C
Rollin' high and mighty traps
  C                  Am        Em         C
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
F                 Em        G
Using ideas as my maps
             F          Am       G            C
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Am                              F    G
Proud 'neath heated brow.
       C                           Am      C
Ah, but I was so much older then,
         F             G           C
I'm younger than that now.

[Instrumental]

G G G G

[Verse 2]

C                       Am      Em
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
F                      G             C
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
C            Am        Em
Lies that life is black and white
F                                      G
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Am                          Em
Romantic facts of musketeers
          F                               G
Foundationed deep, somehow.
            C         Am        Em      F
Ah, but I was so much older then,
        G                          C
I'm younger than that now.

[Verse 3]

      C           Am             Em
Girls' faces formed the forward path
             F      G      C
From phony jealousy
         C    Am        Em
To memorizing politics
     F                  G
Of ancient history
        Am                       Em
Flung down by corpse evangelists
         F                                     G
Unthought of, though, somehow.
         C                         F          C
Ah, but I was so much older then,
         F            G            C
I'm younger than that now.

[Verse 4]

     C         Am           Em
A self-ordained professor's tongue
         F    G         C
Too serious to fool
    C         Am        Em
Spouted out that liberty
     F                            G
Is just equality in school
     Am             Em
"Equality," I spoke the word
     F                    G
As if a wedding vow.
         C           Am
Ah, but I was so much older then,
F                   G               C
I'm younger than that now.

[Verse 5]

             C         Am       Em
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
               F         G              C
At the mongrel dogs who teach
C                          Am                 Em
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
               F                 G
In the instant that I preach
       Am                           F          C
My existence led by confusion boats
Am                Em          G
Mutiny from stern to bow.
            C          Am        F       C
Ah, but I was so much older then,
        G                          C
I'm younger than that now.

[Verse 6]

                C          Am                  Em
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
          F     G        C
Too noble to neglect
       C            Am     Em
Deceived me into thinking
              F                     G
I had something to protect
Am                          Em
Good and bad, I define these terms
F                                       G
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
            C       Am          F          C
Ah, but I was so much older then,
        G                          C
I'm younger than that now.
