E5E5 G+G
A augmentedA child arrived just the other day

He learned to walk while I was away

He was talking 'fore I knew it and when he could, he said
G+G E MajorE
"I'm gonna be like you, dad,
G+G E MajorE
You know I'm gonna be like you"
Refrão:
E MajorE D MajorD
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
G+G A augmentedA
Little boy blue and a man on the moon

When you comin' home son, I don't know when
G+G A augmentedA
We'll get together then,
G+G E MajorE
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
A9A9 E MajorE
He said "Thanks for the ball dad, come on, let's play
E5E5 G+G
Could you teach me to throw?", I said "Not today
A augmentedA E MajorE
I got a lot to do", he said "That's OK"
D MajorD G+G
He walked away with a smile on his face, he said
E MajorE
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah,

you know I'm gonna be like him"

Well he came from college just the other day
A9A9 E MajorE
So much like a man I just have to say

I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while
A9A9 E MajorE
He shook his head and he said with a smile
D MajorD
What I'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
G+G E MajorE
see you later, can I have them please
Refrão:

The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

E5E5 G+G
I've long since retired, my son moved away
A9A9 E MajorE
I called him up just the other day
E5E5 G+G
I'd like to see you, if you don't mind
A9A9 E MajorE
He said: I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.
D MajorD
You see, my new job's hassle and the kids got the flu,
G+G E MajorE
but it's sure nice talking to you dad,
G+G E MajorE
it was sure nice talking to you.
D MajorD
And as I hung up the phone is occurred to me
G+G E MajorE
He'd grown up just like me
G+G E MajorE
My boy was just like me!
