[Verse 1]
E G
A child arrived just the other day
A E
He came to the world in the usual way
E G
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
A E
He learned to walk while I was away
D D/C# D/B D/A
And he was talkin 'fore I knew it and as he grew he'd say
D/G D/F# E
I'm gonna be like you, dad
G G/F# E
You know I'm gonna be like you
[Chorus]
E D
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
G A
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
E D
When you coming home Dad, I don't know when
G E
But we'll get together then
G E
You know we'll have a good time then.
[Verse 2]
E G
My son turned ten just the other day
A E
He said thanks for the ball dad, c'mon let's play
E G
Can you teach me to throw, I said "not today;
A E
I got a lot to do", he said "that's okay"
D D/C# D/B D/A
And he, he walked away but his smile never dimmed, he said
D/G D/F# E
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah
G G/F# E
You know I'm gonna be like him"
[Chorus]
E D
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
G A
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
E D
When you comin' home Dad, I don't know when
G E
but we'll get together then
G E
you know we'll have a good time then.
[Verse 3]
E G
Well, he came home college just the other day
A E
So much like a man, I just had to say
E G
"Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
A E
He shook his head and he said with a smile
