verse1:

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

chorus:
A#           C                       F       F
cold feet. Cold cold cold cold cold feet...

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

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

A#           C                   F      F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A#           C                    F    F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

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

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

A#           C                  F       F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet"...

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

A#          C                    F      F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A#          C                   F      F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A#           C                   F      F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A#           C                  F        F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

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

A#           C                    F      F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
             A#          C                    F        F
Without ...  cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet..."

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

A#            C                   F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
