Version 1
            [Verse]
E               G
A child arrived just the other day
   A                        E    
He came to the world in the usual way
E                                  G
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
A                        E           
He learned to walk while I was away
D
he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew he said :
 G                 E
"I'm gonna be like you dad 
G                               E
you know I'm gonna be just like you"

[Chorus]
E                                  G
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
G                       A
little boy blue and the man in the moon
E                           G
when you commin' home dad, "I don't know when
D                           E
but we'll have a good time then
G                               E
you know we'll have a good time then

[Verse]
E                      G
My son turned ten just the other day
A                                E
he said "thanks for the ball dad c'mon lets play
E                                   G

A                          E
I got a lot to do" he said that's okay"
D                                          G
and he walked away but his smile never did he said
              E
"I'm gonna be like him,yeah
G                           E
you know I'm gonna be like him"

[Chorus]
E                                  G
and the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
G                        A
little boy blue and the man in the moon
E                           G
when you commin' home dad, "I don't know when
D                   E
we'll get together then
G                               E
you know we'll have a good time then.

[Verse]
E                         G
well he came from college just the other day
A                       E
so much as a man I just had to say
     E                         G
"son, I'm proud of you can you sit for a while?"
A                        E
he shook his head and he said with a smile 
  D   
"what I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys 
G                    E
see you later can I have them please?"

[Chorus]
E                                  G
and the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
G                       A
little boy blue and the man in the moon
E                           G
when you commin' home son, "I dont know when
D                   E

G                               E
you know we'll have a good time then.

[Verse]
E                       G
now I've retired my son moved away 
A                        E
I called him up just the other day
E                               G
I said "son I'd like to see you if you don't mind
A                         E
he said "I love to dad If I could find the time
D
my new jobs a hassle and my kid's got the flu
G                        E
but it's nice talkin' to you dad 
G                   E
it's sure nice talkin' to you"

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

[Chorus]
 E                             G
and cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
G                       A
little boy blue and the man in the moon
E                           G
when you commin' home son, "I don't know when
D                  E
we'll get together then dad
G                            E
we're gonna have a good time then.
