Cat' In The Cradle คอร์ด - Harry Chapin

My child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it And as
he grew he said, "I'm gonna be like you,
Dad, You know I'm gonna be like you
-
* And the cat's in the cradle
and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home "Son,
I don't know when We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
-
Well, my son turned ten
just the other day He said,
"Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on,
let's play Could you teach me to throw?" I said,
"Not today I got a lot to do." He said,
"That's okay And he walked away
and he smiled and he said,
"You know, I'm gonna be like him
(*)
Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
"What feeling like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later Can I have them please
-
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home son "
I don't know when. We'll get togethe
