Cat's In The Cradle: Words and Music by Harry Chapin
Verse 1:
A C
My child arrived just the other day
D A
He came to the world in the usual way
A C
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
D A
He learned to walk while I was away
G G/F# Em7
And he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew
Em/D C Em A
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you Dad
C Em 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 G
When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
C Em A
But we'll get together then
C Em/B A
You know we'll have a good time then
Verse 2:
A C
My son turned ten just the other day
D A
He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play.
C
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today.
D A
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay."
G G/F# Em7 Em/D
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
C Em/B A
It said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah."
C Em/B A
You know I'm gonna be like him.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
A C
Well, he came from college just the other day
D A
So much like a man I just had to say,
C
"Son, I'm proud of you can you sit for a while"
D A
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
G G/F# Em7 Em/D
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
C Em A
See you later, can I have them please?"
Chorus:
Instrumental break:
F - G - Em - A
Ahhh Ahhhh Ahhh
F - G - Em - A
Ahhh Ahhhh Ahhh
Verse 4:
A C
I've long since retired and my son's moved away
D A
I called him up just the other day
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 could find the time.
G G/F# Em7 Em/D
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu.
C Em/B A
But, it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
C Em/B A
It's been sure nice talking to you."
G G/F# Em7 Em/D
As I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
C Em A(no 3rd)
he'd grown up just like me.
C Em/B A
My boy was just like me.
