Cat's In The Cradle – Unknown Artist I just heard this on the radio after a loooooong time. It didn’t sound like the Ugly Joe Version so I’m not sure who the artist was. Anyway, I tabbed it when I got home. If it’s not tight, be gentle on the ratings. I heard it once and got to tabbing. I also tried using Fs instead of Cadd9s in some areas. not quite sure, Cadd9 just sounds smoother. But, go ahead using F it your not comfortable with Cadd9.

He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay." And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed. It said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him." Repeat Chorus Riff 1 Well, he came home from college just the other day, so much like a man I just had to say, "Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?" He shook his head and he said with a smile, "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys. See you later. Can I have them please?" Repeat Chorus Bb--- C Am7 Dsus2 Bb--- C Am7 Dsus2---Dsus2---Dsus2--- I've long since retired, my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day. I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind." He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. You see, my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, but it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad. It's been sure nice talkin' to you." And as I hung up the phone it occured to me, he'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me. Outro Chorus And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon. "When you comin' home Son?" "I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad, we're gonna have a good time then." |
