verse1:

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

chorus:
G           A                       D       D
cold feet. Cold cold cold cold cold feet...

(now keep playing A G D G for the verses and G A G for
the choruses the whole song...)

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

G           A                   D      D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

G           A                    D    D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

D          A                    D      D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

G           A                  D       D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet"...

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

G          A                    D      D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

G          A                   D      D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

G           A                   D      D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

G           A                  D        D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

G           A                    D      D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
             G          A                    D        D
Without ...  cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet..."

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

G            A                   D
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
