verse1:

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

chorus:
F           G                       C       C
cold feet. Cold cold cold cold cold feet...

(now keep playing G F C G for the verses and F G G for
the choruses the whole song...)

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

F           G                   C      C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

F           G                    C    C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

C          G                    C      C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

F           G                  C       C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet"...

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

F          G                    C      C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

F          G                   C      C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

F           G                   C      C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

F           G                  C        C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

F           G                    C      C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
             F          G                    C        C
Without ...  cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet..."

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

F            G                   C
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
