My [D]child arrived just the [F]other day,
He [G]came to the world in the [D]usual way.
[D]But there were planes to catch and [F]bills to pay.
He [G]learned to walk while I [D]was away.
And he was [C]talking 'fore I [C/B]knew it, and [C/A]as he [C/G]grew,
He'd say, "[F]I'm gonna [F/E]be like [D]you, dad. [F]You know I'm gonna [F/E]be like [D]you."
CHO 1:And the [D]cat's in the cradle and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man in the moon.
"[D]When you coming home, dad?" "I [C]don't know when,
But [F]we'll get [F/E]together [D]then.
You [F]know we'll have a [F/E]good time [D]then."

[D]My son turned ten just the [F]other day.
[G]He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, [D]come on let's play.
[D]Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "[F]Not today,
[G]I got a lot to do." He said, "[D]That's ok."
And he [C]walked away, [C/B]but his smile, [C/A]lemme tell [C/G]you,
[F]Said, "I'm gonna [F/E]be like [D]him, yeah. [F]You know I'm gonna [F/E]be like [D]him."
CHO 2:And the [D]cat's in the cradle and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man in the moon.
"[D]When you coming home, dad?" "I [C]don't know when,
But [F]we'll get [F/E]together [D]then.
You [F]know we'll have a [F/E]good time [D]then."
INTRO
Well, [D]he came from college just the [F]other day,
[G]So much like a man I just [D]had to say,
"Son, [D]I'm proud of you. Can you [F]sit for a while?"
[G]He shook his head, and he [D]said with a smile,
"What I'd [C]really like, dad, is [C/B]to borrow the[C/A] car k[C/G]eys.
[F]See you [F/E]later. Can [D]I have them please?"
CHO 3:And the [D]cat's in the cradle and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man in the moon.
"[D]When you coming home, dad?" "I [C]don't know when,
But [F]we'll get [F/E]together [D]then.
You [F]know we'll have a [F/E]good time [D]then."
[D]I've long since retired and my [F]son's moved away.
[G]I called him up just the [D]other day.
"[D]I'd like to see you if [F]you don't mind."
[G]He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could [D]find the time.
You see, [C]my new job's a [C/B]hassle, and the [C/A]kid's got the [C/G]flu,
[F]But it's sure nice [F/E]talking to [D]you, dad.
[F]It's been so nice talking to [D]you."
And as I [C]hung up the [C/B]phone, it [C/A]occurred to [C/G]me,
[F]He'd grown up [F/E]just like [D]me.
[F]My boy was [F/E]just like [D]me.
CHO 4:And the [D]cat's in the cradle and the [C]silver spoon,
[F]Little boy blue and the [G]man in the moon.
"[D]When you coming home, dad?" "I [C]don't know when,
But [F]we'll get [F/E]together [D]then.
You [F]know we'll have a [F/E]good time [D]then." X 2
