The Universal Coward Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
He's [G]young, he's old,
he's in between
And he's [F]so very much con[G]fused
He'll scrounge around and
[F]protest all day [Bb]long[D]
He [Gm]joins the pickets at Berke[Eb]ley,
and he [Cm]burns his draft [Ab]card
Yet he's [Db]twisted into thinkin'
[A]fightin' is all [D]wrong[F][C][G]
He's a pacifist, an extremist,
a [F]communist, or just a [G]yank
A demonstrator, an [F]agitator,
or just a [Bb]knave
[D]A c[Gm]onscientious o[Eb]bjector,
a fan[Cm]atic for a [Ab]defector
And he [Db]doesn't know he's
[A]digging his own [D]grave[F][C][G]
I just can't get it through his thick skull
Why the [F]mighty U .S [G].A. has got to be
The [F]watchdog of the [Bb]world[D]
Else that [Gm]greedy U .S .S [Eb].R.
will [Cm]bury us from [Ab]afar
And you'll [Db]never see the [A]missiles
being [D]hurled[F][C][G][Ab]
He's the universal coward
And he [F#]runs from any[Ab]thing
From a giant, from a [F#]human, from an [B]elf[Eb]
He [G#m]runs from Mungo -San,
[E]he run[C#m]s from Vietnam
[A]But mos[D]t of all he's run[Bb]ning from
him[Eb]self[Gb][Db][Ab]
[Ab][Ab]
You
