E                 G

A child arrived just the other day

 A                         E             

Came to the world in the usual way

E                            G

There were planes to catch, bills to pay

 A                       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"







E                           G     

The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

 D                     A

Little boy blue and a man on the moon

E                         G

When you comin' home son, I don't know when

D                    E

We'll get together then,

G                                E

You know we'll have a good time then







E                       G

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

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"

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'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys

G                  E

I've long since retired, my son 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'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!
