[Verse 1]
G#m C#
What a friend, what a pal,
A#m D#m
Only now I can see,
B C# G#m F#
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
F# G#m A#m
I never knew, what a mother goes through
D#m G#7 C#
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
F# A#m G#m C#7
Pal of my cradle days,
C# F#
I've needed you always
A#m D#m C# C#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
C# F#
You sacrificed everything for me
F# A#m G#m C#7
I stole the gold from your hair
C# D#m
I put the silver threads there
G#m C# F# D#7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
G#m C# F#
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
G#m C#
Greatest friend, dearest pal
A#m D#m
It was me who caused you
B C# G#m F#
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
F# G#m A#m
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
D#m G#7 C#
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
F# A#m G#m C#7
Pal of my cradle days,
C# F#
I've needed you always
A#m D#m C# C#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
C# F#
You sacrificed everything for me
F# A#m G#m C#7
I stole the gold from your hair
C# D#m
I put the silver threads there
G#m C# F# D#7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
G#m C# F#
Pal of my cradle days
