       D
There was a little boy

C
once upon a time, who in

G                                 G
spite of his young age and small size, knew his mind. For 

D
every copper penny and

C
clover he would find, make a 

G                         G
wish for better days, the end of hard times for no more...
chorus:
C           D                       G       G

(now keep playing D C G G for the verses and C D G for the choruses the whole song...) verse2:
     D
His clothes were alway clean,

C
his face was always scrubbed, there was

G                            G
food on the table, enough to fill him up. His 

D
house was full of life, his

C
house was full of love, but when

G                             G
winterdays arrived, there was never money enough to shod this

C           D                   G      G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse3:
        D
He grew up to be a worker 

C
determined to succeed, he made a 

G
life for himself free from 

G
worldly wants or needs. But with no-

D
body to share the life he'd made no-

C
body to keep him warm 

G                                  G
at night, when he'd go to sleep he'd sleep alone with his... 

C           D                    G    G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse4:
     D
One night he walked the street looking 

C
to the heaven above searching 

G                        G
for a shooting star, a benevolved god. When a 

D
woman passing by brushed his 

C
arm he turned and found love. He then

G                                    G          
wished for the courage to ask this stranger who she was to not have... 

G          D                    G      G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse5:
         D
One year later he stood beside her. He vowed I'll give you

everything you want. She said, "I'll 

G                                G
take some love from my heart to keep your body warm, you won't have... 

C           D                  G       G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet"...
verse6:
   D
He thought she'd like the party life and 

C
want the finer things, so he 

G
promised more than he could by, He'd 

G
promised her the sun and the moon to not have... 

C          D                    G      G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse7:
    D
He worked day and night, his 

C
fingers to the bone. 

G
His worried mind, guilty conscience drive him on. He can 

D
give her what she needs. He wants to 

C
give her what he thinks she wants. Her 

G                        G                   G         G
sad eyed face, his empty pockets drive him on___________ and his...

C          D                   G      G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse8:
     D
He'd struggled all his life to 

C
be an honest man, proud that the 

G                          G
dirt on his palms was the soil of the land, but some 

D
guys he knew from high school days 

C
said they had a plan to get 

G                                G
rich real quick and they could count him in if he don't have...

C           D                   G      G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse9:
    D
He thought about their offer,

C
accepted it without qualms. 

G                                   G
Dreamt about the life he'd buy, the comfort that would come without...

C           D                  G        G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse10:
      D
He decided to drive the car, he de-

C
cided to carry the gun, to take the

G                                 G
biggest risk of all to prove his loyalty to his friends. He de-

D
cided to tell his wife

C 
things would soon turn around. He said,"The

G                     G 
little boy is dead, a man stands with you now, without...  

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

             C          D                    G        G
Without ...  cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet..."
verse11:
    D                       
He thought he'd set his clock right. He 

C
thought he'd read his wath. He 

G                               G 
left in such a hurry, he didn't think to wish for luck. Makes no

D 
difference if you're early, no 

C
difference if you're late, 

G                            G                              G
when you're out of time. The flowers have been laid. You're six feet underground with

C            D                   G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
That's all. The rythm and the malody for each single verse varies... Hope you enjoy the song, peat...
