verse1:

       F#
There was a little boy
E
once upon a time, who in
B                                 B
spite of his young age and small size, knew his mind. For
F#
every copper penny and
E
clover he would find, make a
B                         B
wish for better days, the end of hard times for no more...

chorus:
E           F#                       B       B
cold feet. Cold cold cold cold cold feet...

(now keep playing F# E B G for the verses and E F# G for
the choruses the whole song...)

verse2:
     F#
His clothes were alway clean,
E
his face was always scrubbed, there was
B                            B
food on the table, enough to fill him up. His
F#
house was full of life, his
E
house was full of love, but when
B                             B
winterdays arrived, there was never money enough to shod this

E           F#                   B      B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

verse3:
        F#
He grew up to be a worker
E
determined to succeed, he made a
B
life for himself free from
B
worldly wants or needs. But with no-
F#
body to share the life he'd made no-
E
body to keep him warm
B                                  B
at night, when he'd go to sleep he'd sleep alone with his...

E           F#                    B    B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

verse4:
     F#
One night he walked the street looking
E
to the heaven above searching
B                        B
for a shooting star, a benevolved god. When a
F#
woman passing by brushed his
E
arm he turned and found love. He then
B                                    B
wished for the courage to ask this stranger who she was to not have...

B          F#                    B      B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

verse5:
         F#
One year later he stood beside her. He vowed I'll give you
E
everything you want. She said, "I'll
B                                B
take some love from my heart to keep your body warm, you won't have...

E           F#                  B       B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet"...

verse6:
   F#
He thought she'd like the party life and
E
want the finer things, so he
B
promised more than he could by, He'd
B
promised her the sun and the moon to not have...

E          F#                    B      B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

verse7:
    F#
He worked day and night, his
E
fingers to the bone.
B
His worried mind, guilty conscience drive him on. He can
F#
give her what she needs. He wants to
E
give her what he thinks she wants. Her
B                        B                   B         B
sad eyed face, his empty pockets drive him on___________ and his...

E          F#                   B      B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

verse8:
     F#
He'd struggled all his life to
E
be an honest man, proud that the
B                          B
dirt on his palms was the soil of the land, but some
F#
guys he knew from high school days
E
said they had a plan to get
B                                B
rich real quick and they could count him in if he don't have...

E           F#                   B      B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

verse9:
    F#
He thought about their offer,
E
accepted it without qualms.
B                                   B
Dreamt about the life he'd buy, the comfort that would come without...

E           F#                  B        B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

verse10:
      F#
He decided to drive the car, he de-
E
cided to carry the gun, to take the
B                                 B
biggest risk of all to prove his loyalty to his friends. He de-
F#
cided to tell his wife
E
things would soon turn around. He said,"The
B                     B
little boy is dead, a man stands with you now, without...

E           F#                    B      B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
             E          F#                    B        B
Without ...  cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet..."

verse11:
    F#
He thought he'd set his clock right. He
E
thought he'd read his wath. He
B                               B
left in such a hurry, he didn't think to wish for luck. Makes no
F#
difference if you're early, no
E
difference if you're late,
B                            B                              B
when you're out of time. The flowers have been laid. You're six feet underground
 with

E            F#                   B
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
