verse1:



       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...

C           D                       G       G

cold feet. Cold cold cold cold cold feet...

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

cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

        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...

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"...

cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...





verse7:

    D

He worked day and night, his

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

C

give her what he thinks she wants. Her 

G                        G                   G         G

be an honest man, proud that the 

G                          G

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...

cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...

    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...

      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...

    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...
