Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
[Verse 1]
D F
My child arrived just the other day;
G D
Came to the world in the usual way
D F
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
G D
He learned to walk while I was away.
C
He was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew he said,
F D
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
F D
You know I'm gonna be like you."
[Chorus]
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
F G
Little boy blue and a man on the moon.
D
"When you comin' home?"
C
"Son, I don't know when,
F D
We'll get together then.
F D
You know we'll have a good time then."
[Verse 2]
D F
Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
G D
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
D F
Could you teach me to throw?", I said "Not today
G D
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay."
C
And he walked away and he smiled and he said
F D
"You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
F D
You know I'm gonna be like him."
[Chorus 2]
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
F G
Little boy blue and a man on the moon.
D
"When you comin' home?"
C
"Son, I don't know when,
F D
We'll get together then.
F D
You know we'll have a good time then."
[Verse 3]
D F
Well, he came from college just the other day,
G D
So much like a man I just had to say.
D F
"I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while?"
G D
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
C
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
F D
See you later. Can I have them please?"
[Chorus 3]
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
F G
Little boy blue and a man on the moon.
D
"When you comin' home, Son?"
C
"I don't know when,
F D
We'll get together then.
F D
You know we'll have a good time then."
F D
[Verse 4]
D F
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
G D
I called him up just the other day.
D F
"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
G D
He said, I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
C
You see, my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
F D
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad.
F D
It's been sure nice talking to you."
[Ending verse]
C
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
F D
He'd grown up just like me.
F D
My boy was just like me.
[Chorus 4]
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
F G
Little boy blue and a man on the moon.
D
"When you comin' home, Son?"
C
"I don't know when,
F D
We'll get together then.
F D
You know we'll have a good time then."
[Chorus 4]
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
F G
Little boy blue and a man on the moon.
D
"When you comin' home, Son?"
C
"I don't know when,
F D
We'll get together then.
F D
You know we'll have a good time then."
