[Verse 1]
Em A
What a friend, what a pal,
F#m Bm
Only now I can see,
G A Em D
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
D Em F#m
I never knew, what a mother goes through
Bm E7 A
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
D F#m Em A7
Pal of my cradle days,
A D
I've needed you always
F#m Bm A A7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
A D
You sacrificed everything for me
D F#m Em A7
I stole the gold from your hair
A Bm
I put the silver threads there
Em A D B7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Em A D
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
Em A
Greatest friend, dearest pal
F#m Bm
It was me who caused you
G A Em D
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
D Em F#m
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
Bm E7 A
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
D F#m Em A7
Pal of my cradle days,
A D
I've needed you always
F#m Bm A A7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
A D
You sacrificed everything for me
D F#m Em A7
I stole the gold from your hair
A Bm
I put the silver threads there
Em A D B7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Em A D
Pal of my cradle days
