INTRO: [D] [D7] [G] [D/F#] [Em7] [A7] [D]


1. [D]Crimson [Bm]flames [G]tied [D/F#]through my ears Rollin` [G]high and [D/F#]mighty [Em7]trap[A7]s
[D]Pounced with [Bm]fire on [G]flam[D/F#]ing roads Using [G]ideas [D/F#]as my [Em7]map [A7]s
"We`ll [D]meet on edg[F#m/C#]es, [G]soon," said [D/F#]I, [Em7]Proud `neath [A7]heat[Em7]ed bro[A7]w,
Ah, but [D]I was [D7]so much [G]older [D/F#]then, I`m [Em7]younger [A7]than [G]that [D]now.

2.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.

3.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 then that now.

4.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 then that now.

5. 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 than, I`m younger then that now.

6. 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,bur I was so much older than, I`m younger than that now.
