D F
My child arrived just the other day
G D
He came to the world in the usual way
D F
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
G D
He learned to walk while I was away
C Em7 Am Am/G
And he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew
F Am D
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you Dad
F Am D
You know I'm gonna be like you"
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
F G
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
D C
When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
F Am D
But we'll get together then
F Am/E D
You know we'll have a good time then
D F
My son turned ten just the other day
G D
He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play.
D F
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today.
G D
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay."
C Em7 Am Am/F
But as he walked away his smile never dimmed
F Am D
He said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah."
F Am D
You know I'm gonna be like him.
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
F G
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
D C
When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
F Am D
But we'll get together then
F Am/E D
You know we'll have a good time then
D F
Well, he came from college just the other day
G D
So much like a man I just had to say,
D F
"Son, I'm proud of you can you sit for a while"
G D
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
C Em7 Am Am/F
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
F Am D
See you later, can I have them please?"
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
F G
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
D C
When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
F Am D
But we'll get together then
F Am/E D
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired and my son's moved away
G D
I called him up just the other day
D F
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
G D
He said, "I'd love to Dad if I could find the time.
C Em7 Am Am/F
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu.
F Am D
But, it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
F Am D
It's been sure nice talking to you."
C Em7 Am7 Am/G
As I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
F Am D
he'd grown up just like me.
F Am/E D
My boy was just like me.
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
F G
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
D C
When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
F Am D
But we'll get together then
F Am/E D
You know we'll have a good time then
