This is Coward, a poem I wrote a while ago. I have found a chord progression=
that inspired me to use this poem and make it into a song.=20
I have made some slight alterations from the original poem. Enjoy, and feel f=
ree to try the song for yourself. The rhythm follows closely to Best Of My L=
ove by Eagles.=20

D G
One shows undying love
A
By being loyal all the time
G C
But the least bit of pressure
D
Should not crack the spine.=20

D G
I love her, yes I do
A
My love was like a star
G C
But alas, he loved her more
D
And pushed it way too far.=20

Dm Gm Am
Like a coward, I fled
Dm Gm Am
Like a coward, I ran
Gm
Like a soldier shot in the foot
Cm D
My ground I did not stand.=20
=20
He took her in his arms
His will against her own
He said to me in a loud voice
"You will leave her alone!"

She is gone from my arms
Gone from under the sun
All I can do is close my eyes
And with tears, I can run.=20

Like a coward, I fled
Like a coward, I ran
Like a soldier=
