wish for better days, the end of hard times for no more...

His clothes were alway clean,

One year later he stood beside her. He vowed I'll give you

CDGG
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

give her what he thinks she wants. Her
GGGG
sad eyed face, his empty pockets drive him on___________ and his...
CDGG

He'd struggled all his life to

He decided to drive the car, he de-

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
GG
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,
GGG
when you're out of time. The flowers have been laid. You're six feet underground with
