Biography:
Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

A child arrived just the other day.

There were planes to catch, bills to pay.
A E
He learned to walk while I was away
D D/C#
He was talking 'fore I knew it
D/B D/A
and when he could, he said
G D/F# E
"I'm gonna be like you, dad,
G Gsus2/F E
You know I'm gonna be like you"
Chorus:
E D
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and a man on the moon
E D
When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
G 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
Could you teach me to throw?", I said
G A E
"Not to- day I got a lot to do", he said "That's OK"
D D/C#
He walked a- way
D/B D/A
with a smile on his face, he said

I'm gonna be like him, yeah,

When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
G E
We'll get together then,
G E
You know we'll have a good time then
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 D/C#
What I'm feeling like, dad,
D/B D/A
is to borrow the car keys
G D/F# E
