[Verse 1]
Gm C
What a friend, what a pal,
Am Dm
Only now I can see,
A# C Gm F
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
F Gm Am
I never knew, what a mother goes through
Dm G7 C
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
F Am Gm C7
Pal of my cradle days,
C F
I've needed you always
Am Dm C C7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
C F
You sacrificed everything for me
F Am Gm C7
I stole the gold from your hair
C Dm
I put the silver threads there
Gm C F D7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Gm C F
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
Gm C
Greatest friend, dearest pal
Am Dm
It was me who caused you
A# C Gm F
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
F Gm Am
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
Dm G7 C
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
F Am Gm C7
Pal of my cradle days,
C F
I've needed you always
Am Dm C C7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
C F
You sacrificed everything for me
F Am Gm C7
I stole the gold from your hair
C Dm
I put the silver threads there
Gm C F D7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Gm C F
Pal of my cradle days
