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.

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.

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...  |
