       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...

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

He grew up to be a worker 
C
determined to succeed, he made a

life for himself free from

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...

     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...

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

cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet"...

He thought she'd like the party life and

want the finer things, so he 
G
promised more than he could by, He'd

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...

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

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

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

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

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...
