[E]Well A child arrived [G]just the other day

[D]he was talkin 'for I knew it and as he culd he said :
&[G]quot;I'm gonna be [E]like you dad
[G]you know I gonna be just like y[E]ou"

[E]the cats i the cradle and the [G]silver spoon
[G]little boy blue and the[A] man in the moon
[E]when you commin' home dad, &[G]quot;I dont know when
[D]but we'll have a good time t[E]hen
[G]we'll have a good time t[E]hen

[E]well he came home from collage j[G]ust the other day
[A]so much as a man I jut had t[E]o say
"[E] ;son I'm proud of you can [G]you sit for a wile'"
[A]he shook his head and he [E]said with a smile
&q[D]uot;wath I really like is to borrow the car keys
[G]see you later can [E]I have them please'"

[E]the cats i the cradle and the [G]silver spoon
[G]little boy blue and the[A] man in the moon
[E]when you commin' home son, &[G]quot;I dont know when
[D]we'll get togeter t[E]hen dad
[G]you know we'll have a good time [E]then.

[E]now I retierd my s[G]on moved away
[A]I called him up ju[E]st the atoher day
[E]I said "son I'd like to see[G] you if you dont mind
[A]he said " I love to d[E]ad If I culd find the time
[D]my new jobs a hazzle and my kid's got the flue
[G]but its nice talkin' to y[E]ou dad
[G]its sure nice talkin[E]' to you"

and as [D]I hung up the phone it occurred to me
[G]he'd grown up just like [E]me
[G]my boy was just like [E]me

[G]little boy blue and the[A] man in the moon
[E]when you commin' home son, &[G]quot;I dont know when
[D]we'll get togeter t[E]hen dad
[G]you know we'll have a good time [E]then.
