Tracy chapman's cold feet

original song.

lyrics + guitar chords: 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...

chorus:
C D G G
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: 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

C D G G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...


verse3: 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...

G D G G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...


verse5: D
One year later he stood beside her. He vowed I'll give you
C
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"...


verse6:
D
He thought she'd like the party life and
C
want the finer things, so he
G
promised more than he could by, He'd
G
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...

C D G G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...


verse8: D
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
G G
rich real quick and they could count him in if he don't have...

C D G G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet...


verse9: 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...

C D G G
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
C
things would soon turn around. He said,"The
G G
little boy is dead, a man stands with you now, without...

C D G G
cold feet, cold cold cold cold feet... 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...
