The Intro is sth like this:
and then just play:
verse1:
There w
as a little boy
once upon a time, who in
spite of his young age and small s
ize, knew his mind. For
every copper penny and
clover he would find, make a
wish for better days, the
end of hard times for no more...
chorus:
cold feet. C
old 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:
His c
lothes were alway clean,
his face was always scrubbed, there was
food on the table, enough to
fill him up. His
house was full of life, his
house was full of love, but when
winterdays arrived, there was
never money enough to shod this
cold feet, c
old cold cold cold f
eet...
verse3:
He grew
up to be a worker
determined to succeed, he made a
life for himself free from
worldly wants or needs. But with no-
body to share the life he'd made no-
body to keep him warm
at night, when he'd go to sleep he'
d sleep alone with his...
cold feet, c
old cold cold cold fe
et...
verse4:
One n
ight he walked the street looking
to the heaven above searching
for a shooting star, a be
nevolved god. When a
woman passing by brushed his
arm he turned and found love. He then
wished for the courage to ask this st
ranger who she was to not have...
cold feet,
cold cold cold cold f
eet...
verse5:
One year
later he stood beside her. He vowed I'll give you
everything you want. She said, "I'll
take some love from my heart to k
eep your body warm, you won't have...
cold feet, c
old cold cold cold
feet"...
verse6:
He
thought she'd like the party life and
want the finer things, so he
promised more than he could by, He'd
promised her the sun and the moon to not have...
cold feet,
cold cold cold cold f
eet...
verse7:
He w
orked day and night, his
fingers to the bone.
His worried mind, guilty conscience drive him on. He can
give her what she needs. He wants to
give her what he thinks she wants. Her
sad eyed face, his empty
pockets drive him on
__________
_ and his...
cold feet,
cold cold cold cold
feet...
verse8:
He'd
struggled all his life to
be an honest man, proud that the
dirt on his palms was the s
oil of the land, but some
guys he knew from high school days
said they had a plan to get
rich real quick and they could co
unt him in if he don't have...
cold feet, c
old cold cold cold f
eet...
verse9:
He t
hought about their offer,
accepted it without qualms.
Dreamt about the life he'd buy, the
comfort that would come without...
cold feet, c
old cold cold cold
feet...
verse10:
He dec
ided to drive the car, he de-
cided to carry the gun, to take the
biggest risk of all to prove his l
oyalty to his friends. He de-
cided to tell his wife
things would soon turn around. He said,"The
little boy is dead, a
man stands with you now, without...
cold feet, c
old cold cold cold fe
et...
Without ...
cold feet,
cold cold cold cold f
eet..."
verse11:
He t
hought he'd set his clock right. He
thought he'd read his wath. He
left in such a hurry, he didn't
think to wish for luck. Makes no
difference if you're early, no
difference if you're late,
when you're out of time. The
flowers have been laid. You're
six feet underground with
cold feet, co
ld cold cold cold fe
et...
That's all. The rythm and the malody for each single verse varies...
Hope you enjoy the song, peat...
