(Intro)

E5         G
A child arrived just the other day
 A9             E
Came to the world in the usual way
E5              G
There were planes to catch, bills to pay
 A9            E
He learned to walk while I was away
D
He was talking 'fore I knew it and when he could, he said
 G         E
"I'm gonna be like you, dad,
 G             E
You know I'm gonna be like you"

Refrão:

E              D
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
 G           A
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
E             D
When you comin' home son, I don't know when
G          A
We'll get together then,
G                E
You know we'll have a good time then

(Bridge)

E5            G
My son turned ten just the other day
A9                 E
He said "Thanks for the ball dad, come on, let's play
E5                    G
Could you teach me to throw?", I said "Not today
A               E
I got a lot to do", he said "That's OK"
D                    G
He walked away with a smile on his face, he said
        E
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah,
G              E
you know I'm gonna be like him"

Refrão:

E              D
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
 G           A
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
E             D
When you comin' home son, I don't know when
G          A
We'll get together then,
G                E
You know we'll have a good time then

(Bridge)

E5             G
Well he came from college just the other day
A9               E
So much like a man I just have to say
 E5              G
I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while
A9             E
He shook his head and he said with a smile
 D
What I'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
G         E
see you later, can I have them please

Refrão:

E              D
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
 G           A
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
E             D
When you comin' home son, I don't know when
G          A
We'll get together then,
G                E
You know we'll have a good time then

(Bridge)

E5              G
I've long since retired, my son moved away
A9         E
I called him up just the other day
E5           G
I'd like to see you, if you don't mind
 A9             E
He said: I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.
     D
You see, my new job's hassle and the kids got the flu,
 G               E
but it's sure nice talking to you dad,
G           E
it was sure nice talking to you.

    D
And as I hung up the phone is occurred to me
 G           E
He'd grown up just like me
G           E
My boy was just like me!
