verse1:
G
There was a little boy
F
once upon a time, who in
F F
spite of his young age and small size, knew his mind. For
G
every copper penny and
F
clover he would find, make a
F F
wish for better days, the end of hard times for no more...
chorus:
F G F F
cold feet. Cold cold cold cold cold feet...
(now keep playing D C G G for the verses and C D G for
the choruses the whole song...)
verse2:
G
His clothes were alway clean,
F
his face was always scrubbed, there was
F F
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
F F
winterdays arrived, there was never money enough to shod this
F G F F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse3:
G
He grew up to be a worker
F
determined to succeed, he made a
F
life for himself free from
F
worldly wants or needs. But with no-
G
body to share the life he'd made no-
F
body to keep him warm
F F
at night, when he'd go to sleep he'd sleep alone with his...
F G F F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse4:
G
One night he walked the street looking
F
to the heaven above searching
F F
for a shooting star, a benevolved god. When a
G
woman passing by brushed his
F
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 G F F
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
F F
take some love from my heart to keep your body warm, you won't have...
F G F F
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
F
promised more than he could by, He'd
F
promised her the sun and the moon to not have...
F G F F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse7:
G
He worked day and night, his
F
fingers to the bone.
F
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
F F F F
sad eyed face, his empty pockets drive him on___________ and his...
F G F F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse8:
G
He'd struggled all his life to
F
be an honest man, proud that the
F F
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
F F
rich real quick and they could count him in if he don't have...
F G F F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
verse9:
G
He thought about their offer,
F
accepted it without qualms.
F F
Dreamt about the life he'd buy, the comfort that would come without...
F G F F
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
F F
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
F F
little boy is dead, a man stands with you now, without...
F G F F
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...
F G F F
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
F F
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,
F F F
when you're out of time. The flowers have been laid. You're six feet underground with
F G F
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...
