Intro: (4x)
The Chords remain the same for all verses.
I use barre chords for the B minor and G major chords. Though not necessary.
Progression as follows:
The Dsus chord achieved by placing Pinky finger on E string 3rd fret while playing D chord.
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty trapped.
Pounced with fire and flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
We'll meet on edges soon said I
Proud neath heated brow.
Ah, But I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
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.
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.
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.
In a soldiers stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become thy enemy
In the instant that I preach.
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now.
My guard stood hard with 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
G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4 to fade
I'm younger than that now.
