[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Crimson [Cm] _ flames [Gm] tied through my ears, [Ab] rolling high [Bb] and mighty _ [Eb] _ traps. _ _ _
_ Pounced with [Cm] _ fire [Gm] on flaming _ [Eb] _ roads, [Ab] using _
[Gm] ideas [Fm] as [Bb] my maps.
[Gm] _
[Bb] _ [Ab] We'll meet on [C] _
edges, [Bb] soon [Eb] said I, [Cm] _
proud, neath [Ab] heated _ [Bb] brow.
_ _ [Eb] Ah, but I was so [Cm] much _ older [Eb] then, [Ab] I'm younger [Eb] than that _ now.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
Half [Cm]-wracked prejudice _ [Gm] _
leaped forth, [Ab] ripped down [Bb]
[Gm] all hate, [Eb] I _ screamed. _ _
_ _ Lies [Cm] that life is [Gm] black and _ white, [Ab] _
spoke for my [Bb] skull, I _ _ dreamed.
_ [Cm] _ Romantic _ facts [Gm] of _ _ musketeers, _ [Ab] _
_ foundation _ deep [Bb] somehow.
_ _ _ [Eb] Ah, but I [Cm]
was so [Gm] much older [Ab] then, _ [Bb] I'm younger than that [Eb] _
_ _ now. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Girls' faces [Cm] _ formed [Gm] the forward _ path _ [Ab] from phony [Bb] _ _ [Eb] jealousy, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ to [Gm] memorizing _ _ politics [Ab] of _ ancient _ _ [Bb] history. _ _
_ _ [Cm] Flung down by [Gm] corpse _ _ evangelists, _ [Ab]
unthought of though [Bb] _ somehow.
Ah, _ _ [Eb] but I was so [Ab] much older [Eb] then, [Ab] I'm younger [Bb] than [Eb] that _ _ _ now. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ A self [Cm] _ -ordained _ [Gm] _
professor's tongue, [Ab] too _ [Bb] serious _ [Eb] to _ fool. _ _
_ _ Spouted [Cm] out [Gm] that _ liberty _ [Ab] is just equality _ [Bb] in _ school. _
_ [Cm] _ Equality, _ _ I [Gm] spoke the word [Ab] as if a wedding [Bb] _ _ vow.
_ [Eb] Ah, but I was [Cm] so much older then, [Ab] _
I'm [Bb] younger than [Eb] that _ now.
_ _ _ _ In _ _ _ _ _ _ a [Cm] soldier's stance, [Gm] I aimed my hand [Ab] at the [Bb] mongrel dogs [Eb] who _ teach.
_ _ Fearing not [Cm] I'd become [Gm] my enemy _ in [Ab] the instant that [Bb] I _ preach.
_ [Cm] My _ existence led [Ab] by confusion [Eb] _ boots, [Cm] _ mutiny [Gm]
from stern to bow.
[Bb] _ _
[Eb] Ah, but I [Cm] was so [Ab] much older [Eb] then, [Bb] I'm younger than that [Eb] _ now. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yes, my guard [Cm] stood [Gm] hard when abstract _ threats, [Abm] too [Gm] noble to [Eb] neglect. _ _ _
_ _ _ Deceived [Cm] me into [Gm] _ thinking I [Ab] had something _ to _ [Bb] _ protect.
[Gm] _
[Bb] _ _ [Cm] Good and bad, [Gm] I defined these terms [Ab] quite clear, no [Bb] doubt _ somehow.
_ _ [Eb] Ah, but I [Cm] was so [Ab] much [Eb] older then, [Bb]
I'm younger than [Eb] that now. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
