VERSE 1

E G

A child arrived just the other day

A E

Came to the world in the usual way

E G

There were planes to catch, bills to pay

A E

He learned to walk while I was away

D

He was talking 'fore I knew it and when he could, he said

G E

"I'm gonna be like you, dad,

G E

You know I'm gonna be like you"

CHORUS

E G

The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

G A

Little boy blue and a man on the moon

E G

When you comin' home son, I don't know when

D E

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, come on, let's play

E G

Could you teach me to throw?", I said "Not today

A E

I got a lot to do", he said "That's OK"

D G

He walked away with a smile on his face, he said

E

"I'm gonna be like him, yeah,

G E

you know I'm gonna be like him"

CHORUS

E G

The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

G A

Little boy blue and a man on the moon

When you comin' home son, I don't know when

D E

We'll get together then,

G E

You know we'll have a good time then

VERSE 3

E G

Well he came from college just the other day

A E

So much like a man I just have to say

E G

I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while

A E

He shook his head and he said with a smile

D

What I'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys

G E

see you later, can I have them please

CHORUS

E G

The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

G A

Little boy blue and a man on the moon

When you comin' home son, I don't know when

D E

We'll get together then,

G E

You know we'll have a good time then

VERSE 4

E G

I've long since retired, my son moved away

A E

I called him up just the other day

E G

I'd like to see you, if you don't mind

A E

He said: I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.

D

You see, my new job's hassle and the kids got the flu,

G E

but it's sure nice talking to you dad,

G E

it was sure nice talking to you.

And as I hung up the phone is occurred to me

G E

He'd grown up just like me

G E

My boy was just like me!
