[Verse 1]
F#m B
What a friend, what a pal,
G#m C#m
Only now I can see,
A B F#m E
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
E F#m G#m
I never knew, what a mother goes through
C#m F#7 B
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
E G#m F#m B7
Pal of my cradle days,
B E
I've needed you always
G#m C#m B B7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
B E
You sacrificed everything for me
E G#m F#m B7
I stole the gold from your hair
B C#m
I put the silver threads there
F#m B E C#7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
F#m B E
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
F#m B
Greatest friend, dearest pal
G#m C#m
It was me who caused you
A B F#m E
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
E F#m G#m
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
C#m F#7 B
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
E G#m F#m B7
Pal of my cradle days,
B E
I've needed you always
G#m C#m B B7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
B E
You sacrificed everything for me
E G#m F#m B7
I stole the gold from your hair
B C#m
I put the silver threads there
F#m B E C#7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
F#m B E
Pal of my cradle days
