[VERSE 1]

My c[E]hild arrived just the ot[G]her day
He c[A]ame to the world in the u[E]sual way
But there were p[E]lanes to catch and b[G]ills to pay
He l[A]earned to walk while I w[E]as away
And he was [D]talkin' 'fore I [D/C#]knew it, and[D/B] as he g[D/A]rew
He'd say "[G]I'm gonna [D/F#]be like y[E]ou dad
You k[G]now I'm gonna [D/F#]be like y[E]ou"

[CHORUS]

And the [E]cat's in the cradle and the s[D]ilver spoon
[G]Little boy blue and the m[A]an on the moon
[E]When you comin' home dad? I d[D]on't know when
But we[G]'ll get tog[D/F#]ether th[E]en son
You kn[G]ow we'll have a g[D/F#]ood time th[E]en

[VERSE 2]

My s[E]on turned ten just the o[G]ther day
He said, "Th[A]anks for the ball, Dad, come [E]on let's play
Can you t[E]each me to throw", I said "N[G]ot today
I got a lo[A]t to do", he said, "That's [E]ok"
And he w[D]alked [D/C#]away but his s[D/B]mile never [D/A]dimmed
And said, "I[G]'m gonna b[D/F#]e like hi[E]m, yeah
You kn[G]ow I'm gonna [D/F#]be like h[E]im"

[CHORUS]

And the c[E]at's in the cradle and the s[D]ilver spoon
[G]Little boy blue and the m[A]an on the moon
[E]When you comin' home dad? I d[D]on't know when
But we[G]'ll get tog[D/F#]ether the[E]n son
You kn[G]ow we'll have a g[D/F#]ood time th[E]en

[VERSE 3]

Well, he c[E]ame home from college just the o[G]ther day
So m[A]uch like a man I just h[E]ad to say
"Son, I'm p[E]roud of you, can you s[G]it for a while?"
He s[A]hook his head and s[E]aid with a smile
"What I'd re[D]ally like, [D/C#]Dad, is to b[D/B]orrow the c[D/A]ar keys
[G]See you [D/F#]later, can I h[E]ave them please?"

[CHORUS]

And the [E]cat's in the cradle and the s[D]ilver spoon
[G]Little boy blue and the m[A]an on the moon
[E]When you comin' home dad? I d[D]on't know when
But we[G]'ll get tog[D/F#]ether the[E]n son
You kn[G]ow we'll have a g[D/F#]ood time th[E]en

I've l[E]ong since retired, my son's m[G]oved away
[G]I called him up just the ot[A]her day
I said, "I'd l[E]ike to see you if y[G]ou don't mind"
He said, "I'd l[A]ove to, Dad, if I can fi[E]nd the time
You see my n[D]ew job's a [D/C#]hassle and the[D/B] kids have the [D/A]flu
But it's su[G]re nice tal[D/F#]king to y[E]ou, Dad

My b[G]oy was [D/F#]just like m[E]e
