[E] [A] [E]
Crimson [C#m] [G#m] flames tied through my years, [A] throwing [B] high and [E] mighty traps
[C#m] Countless [G#m] fire and flame enrolled, [A] using ideas [B] as my maps
[C#m] We'll meet our legend [G#m] soon, said I, [A]
proudly [B] Peter Crow
[E] Ah, but I was so [A] much [E] older then, I'm [B] younger than [E] that now
Half [C#m]-right prejudice [G#m]
leapfrogged, [A] ripped down [B] all hate [E] I screamed
Lies [C#m] that life [G#m] is black and white, [A] spoke from my skull [B] I dreamed
[C#m] Romantic planks [G#m] of musketeers, [A] foundation deep [B]
somehow
[E] Ah, but I was so [A] much older [E] then, [A] I'm younger [B] than [E] that now
In a [C#m] soldier's stance [G#m] I ate my ham, [A] at the [B] mongrel dogs [E] who teach
Fearing not [C#m] I'd become [G#m] my enemy, [A] in the instant that [B] I'd preach
[C#m]
Pistons bled [G#m] like confusion boats, [A]
mutiny from [B] stern to bow
[E] Ah, but I was so [A] much older [E] then, [A] I'm younger [E] than that now
Ah,

[A] [E]
[B] [C#m] [G#m]
[A] [B]
[E] but I was so [A] much older [E] then, I'm younger than that now
My [C#m] guard stood [G#m] hard when abstract threats, [A] too noble [B] to [E] neglect
Deceived [C#m] me into [G#m] thinking, [A] I had something to [B] protect
[C#]
Good and bad, [G#m] I defined these terms, [A]
quite clear, no doubt, [B] somehow
Ah, [E] but I was so [A] much [E] older then, [A] I'm [B] younger than [E] that now
