Verse 1
(C major) Crimson (A minor) flames tied (E minor) through my ears,
rollin' (F major) high and (G major) mighty traps (C major)

using (F major) ideas (E minor) as my (G major) maps (G7)
"We'll (F major) meet on (A minor) edges, (G major) soon," said (C major) I,
(A minor) proud 'neath heated (F major) brow (G major)

I'm (F major) younger (G major) than that now (C major)
(G major) (G6) (G7)
