[Verse 1]
Fm A#
What a friend, what a pal,
Gm Cm
Only now I can see,
G# A# Fm D#
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
D# Fm Gm
I never knew, what a mother goes through
Cm F7 A#
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
D# Gm Fm A#7
Pal of my cradle days,
A# D#
I've needed you always
Gm Cm A# A#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
A# D#
You sacrificed everything for me
D# Gm Fm A#7
I stole the gold from your hair
A# Cm
I put the silver threads there
Fm A# D# C7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Fm A# D#
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
Fm A#
Greatest friend, dearest pal
Gm Cm
It was me who caused you
G# A# Fm D#
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
D# Fm Gm
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
Cm F7 A#
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
D# Gm Fm A#7
Pal of my cradle days,
A# D#
I've needed you always
Gm Cm A# A#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
A# D#
You sacrificed everything for me
D# Gm Fm A#7
I stole the gold from your hair
A# Cm
I put the silver threads there
Fm A# D# C7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Fm A# D#
Pal of my cradle days
