Cats In The Cradle  Ugly Kid Joe



[E]A child arrived ju[G]st the other day
C[A]ame to the world in the us[E]ual way
[E]There were planes to catch, b[G]ills to pay
H[A]e learned to walk while [E]I was away
[D]He was talking 'fore I knew it and when he could, he said
"[G]I'm gonna be like y[E]ou, dad,
Y[G]ou know I'm gonna be like y[E]ou"
CHORUS
[E]The cats in the cradle and t[G]he silver spoon
L[D]ittle boy blue and a m[A]an on the moon
[E]When you comin' home son, [G]I don't know when
[D]We'll get together th[E]en,
[G]You know we'll have a good time t[E]hen
VERSE 2
[E]My son turned ten just t[G]he other day
[A]He said "Thanks for the ball dad, c[E]ome on, let's play
[E]Could you teach me to throw?", I said "N[G]ot today
[A]I got a lot to do", he said "T[E]hat's OK"
[D]He walked away with a smile on his face, [G]he said
"I'm gonna be l[E]ike him, yeah,
[G]you know I'm gonna be like h[E]im"
CHORUS
[E]The cats in the cradle and t[G]he silver spoon
L[D]ittle boy blue and a m[A]an on the moon
[E]When you comin' home son, [G]I don't know when
[D]We'll get together th[E]en,
[G]You know we'll have a good time t[E]hen
VERSE 3
[E]Well he came from college j[G]ust the other day
[A]So much like a man I just have [E]to say
I[E]'m proud of you, could you s[G]it for a while
[A]He shook his head and he s[E]aid with a smile
Wh[D]at I'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
[G]see you later, can [E]I have them please
CHORUS
[E]The cats in the cradle and t[G]he silver spoon
L[D]ittle boy blue and a m[A]an on the moon
[E]When you comin' home son, [G]I don't know when
[D]We'll get together th[E]en,
[G]You know we'll have a good time t[E]hen
BRIDGE - Three parts simultaneously
Electrical guitar
VERSE 4
[E]I've long since retired, my s[G]on moved away
[A]I called him up jus[E]t the other day
[E]I'd like to see you, i[G]f you don't mind
H[A]e said: I'd love to, dad, i[E]f I could find the time.
You see, [D]my new job's hassle and the kids got the flu,
b[G]ut it's sure nice talking to y[E]ou dad,
[G]it was sure nice talki[E]ng to you.

Lyrics Correction (from Ugly Kid Joe Version):

INSTEAD OF:
"He was talking 'fore I knew it and when he could he said..."
IT SHOULD BE:
"He was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew he said.."

ALSO

INSTEAD OF:
"He walked away with a smile on his face..."
IT SHOULD BE:
"He walked away with a smile and he said 'ya know..."

Harry Chapin version was "He walked away but his smile never dimmed and said..."

Chorus.
E,D,G,A. not egda.

monty_0706 (report)

second G in chorus should be D

abirch (report)

not sure about the c in the chorus but the A should be an E

macavoy (report)

Good, sounds like the second G in the chorus should be a C though instead of 2 Gs in a row.
