And the ^Fcat's in the cradle and the ^Ebsilver spoon ^AbLittle boy blue and the m^Bban on the moon ^FWhen you comin' home dad? I ^Ebdon't know when, but w^Abe'll get toge^Cmther th^Fen son You ^Abknow we'll have a g^Cmood time t^Fhen

He ^Bbshook his head and s^Faid with a smile "What I'd ^Ebreally like, D^Bbad, is to bo^Cmrrow the car ke^Bbys ^AbSee you later, can I h^Fave them please?"

And the ^Fcat's in the cradle and the ^Ebsilver spoon ^AbLittle boy blue and the m^Bban on the moon ^FWhen you comin' home son? I ^Ebdon't know when, but w^Abe'll get toge^Cmther th^Fen You ^Abknow we'll have a g^Cmood time t^Fhen
