From: Gil Steinbrecher <[email protected]>

Title: MY BACK PAGES (B.Dylan) 30th anniversary concert version

This beautiful version can be found on the "30th Anniversary Concert Celebration" double disk and on video. It is sung by Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan himself and George Harrison (at that order).

I compiled this TAB version using lyrics I took from the two CRD Versions that appeared in OLGA (credits go to [email protected] (Tony Ash) and [email protected] (Glen Macon) ), and I tabbed Clapton's solo myself.

MY BACK PAGES (B.Dylan) 30th anniversary concert version

Tabbing: Gil Steinbrecher <[email protected]>

(Roger McGuinn sings):

Crimson flames run through my years, flowing high & mighty trapped

Countless fire and flaming rope, using ideas as my map

We'll meet our own edges soon said I, proud me beaded brow

CHORUS: Ah but I was so much older then

I'm younger than that now.

(Tom Petty sings):

Half ripe prejudice leapt forth, rip down all hate I scream

Lies that life is black and white, spoke from my skull I dreamed

Romantic flanks of musketeers, foundation deep somehow

Chorus

(Neil Young sings, same chords as before):

Girl's faces formed the forward path from phony jealousy, To memorizing politics Of ancient history. Flung down by corpse evangelist Unthought of, though,somehow,

Chorus

(Eric Clapton's guitar solo):

(Eric steps forward and sings his verse):

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

Chorus

(Dylan croacks his verse on stage but on the disk he misteriously sounds Fine):

In a soldiers stance I aim my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach During night I become my enemy in the instant that I preach My existance fled by confusion boats, mutiny from stern to bow

Chorus

(George Harrison):

The guard stood hard when abstract prints too nobel to neglect Deceived me into thinking, I had something to protect Good and bad I define these terms, why clear, no doubt, somehow.

(Neil Young's guitar solo)

If there's a demand I'll tab the second solo too, although it Is quite simple.

Suggestions, corrections etc. are welcomed

Gil.
