[Verse 1]
A C/G
My child arrived just the other day
D/A A
He came to the world in the usual way
C/G
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
D/A A
He learned to walk while I was away
[Pre-Chorus]
G G/Gb Em G/D
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
C G/B A
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad
C G/B A
You know I'm gonna be like you"
[Chorus]
A G
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
C D
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
A
When you comin' home, Dad
G C G/B A
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
C G/B A
You know we'll have a good time then
[Verse 2]
A Asus2 G Em A A C/G
My son turned ten just the other day
D/A A
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
C/G
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
D/A A
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's okay"
[Pre-Chorus]
G G/Gb Em G/D
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
C G/B A
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
C G/B A
You know I'm gonna be like him"
[Chorus]
A G
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
C D
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
A
When you comin' home, Dad
G C G/B A
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
C G/B A
You know we'll have a good time then
[Verse 3]
A Asus2 G Em A A C/G
Well, he came from college just the other day
D/A A
So much like a man I just had to say
C/G
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while"
D/A A
He shook his head and he said with a smile
[Pre-Chorus]
G G/Gb Em G/D
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
C G/B A
See you later, can I have them please"
[Chorus]
A G
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
C D
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
A
When you comin' home, son
G C G/B A
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
C G/B A
You know we'll have a good time then
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
A C
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
D A
I called him up just the other day
A C
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
D A
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
[Pre-Chorus]
G G/Gb Em G/D
You see my new job's a hassle and the kid's got the flu
C G/B A
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
C G/B A
It's been sure nice talking to you"
G G/Gb G/D
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
C G/B A
He'd grown up just like me
C G/B A
My boy was just like me
[Chorus]
A G
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
C D
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
A
When you comin' home son
G C G/B A
I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad
C G/B A
We're gonna have a good time then
