[Verse 1]
E G
A child arrived just the other day
A E
Came to the world in the usual way
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 like you"
[Chorus]
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 D/F# E
We'll get together then,
G D/F# E
You know we'll have a good time then
[Verse 2]
E G
Well my son turned ten just the other day
A E
He said "Thanks for the ball dad, come on, let's play
E 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
And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
E
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah,
G E
You know I'm gonna be like him"
[Chorus]
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 D/F# E
We'll get together then,
G D/F# E
You know we'll have a good time then
[Verse 3]
E G
Well he came from college just the other day
A E
So much like a man I just have to say
E G
I'm proud of you, could 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 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

You know we'll have a good time then

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

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!
