chord: A/C# -1 4 2 2 2 0 1
[E]My child arrived just the [G]other day, He [A]came to the world in the [E]usual way
But there were planes to catch and [G]bills to pay, [A]He learned to walk while I [E]was away
And he was [D]talking 'for I knew it, and as he grew
He said "[G]I'm gonna [Bm]be like [E]you, dad, you know [G]I'm gonna [Bm]be like [E]you"
{start_of_chorus}
And the [E]cat's in the cradle and the [D]silver spoon, [G]Little boy blue and the [A]man in the moon
[E]"When you commin' home dad (son)?" "I [D]don't know when, But [G]we'll get to[Bm]gether [E]then, (Dad)
You know [G]we'll have a [Bm]good time [E]then."
{end_of_chorus}
My [E]son turned ten just the [G]other day He said [A]"Thanks for the ball dad, come [E]on let's play
Can you teach me to throw" I said [G]"Not today I got a l[A]ot to do" He said "[E]Thats OK"
[D]He walked away but his smile never dimmed,
It said [G]I'm gonna [Bm]be like [E]him, yeah, You [G]know I'm gonna [Bm]be like [E]him
(Chorus)
Well he [E]came from college just the [G]other day So [A]much like a man I just [E]had to say
"Son I'm proud of you can you [G]sit for a while?" [A]He shook his head and he [E]said with a smile,
"What I'd [D]really like dad is to borrow the car keys,
[G]See you [Bm]later can I [E]have them please?"
(Chorus)
I've [E]long since retired, my [G]son's moved away[A] I called him up just the [E]other day
I said "I'd like to see you if [G]you don't mind" He said "I'd [A]love to dad if I could [E]find the time,
You see the my [D]new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's [G]sure nice [Bm]talkin' to [E]you dad. It's [G]sure nice [Bm]talkin' to [E]you"
And as I [D]hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd [G]grown up [Bm]just like [E]me. My [G]boy was [Bm]just like [E]me
(Chorus .... use parenthesis)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official UGLY KID JOE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
