verse1:

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

chorus:
A           B                       E       E
cold feet. Cold cold cold cold cold feet...

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

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

A           B                   E      E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A           B                    E    E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

E          B                    E      E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A           B                  E       E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet"...

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

A          B                    E      E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A          B                   E      E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A           B                   E      E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A           B                  E        E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A           B                    E      E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
             A          B                    E        E
Without ...  cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet..."

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

A            B                   E
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
