[Intro]
E Esus4 E Esus4
E Esus4 E Esus4
[Verse 1]
E C#m G#m
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
E C#m G#m
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
A B
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
[Verse 2]
E C#m G#m
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
E C#m G#m
Lies that life is black and white
A B
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
C#m G#m
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
[Verse 3]
(The next two verses were left out by The Byrds)
E C#m G#m
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Cm G#m
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
C#m G#m
"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 existence led by confusion boats
A B
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

[Verse 6]
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
C#m G#m
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.
