Title: My Back Pages Artist: Bob Dylan Album: Another Side of Bob Dylan The chords vary from verse to verse and are never the same on the refrain ("Ah but I was so much older..."). If you are intent on learning the song as it is on the album, the following notes might help: Verse 1 is very different from the rest. You just gotta learn it. Verses 2, 3, 4, and 6 are identical. Verse 5 is similar to the other verses except the last part. The refrains have different variations each time. However, if youre not so picky about every detail, I recomend just learning the chords to the last verse and refrain and using that pattern throughout. Also, Dylan uses this little thing most of the G chords: --3--3--3-- --0--0--0-- --0--0--0-- --0--2--3-- --2--2--2-- --3--3--3-- Capo 3 ------ C
