[Intro] E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 [Verse 1]
ECrimson C#mflames tied Abmthrough my ears Rollin' Ahigh and Bmighty Etraps EPounced with C#mfire on Abmflaming roads Using Aideas as myB maps "We'll C#mmeet on edges, Abmsoon," said I AProud 'neath heated Bbrow. Ah, but EI was so much Aolder Ethen, A B E (intro riff twice) I'm younger than that now.
[Verse 2] (same as verse 1) 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. [Verse 3] (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. [Verse 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 than that now. [Verse 5] (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. [Verse 6] (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.
