[Verse 1]
Dm G
What a friend, what a pal,
Em Am
Only now I can see,
F G Dm C
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
C Dm Em
I never knew, what a mother goes through
Am D7 G
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
C Em Dm G7
Pal of my cradle days,
G C
I've needed you always
Em Am G G7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
G C
You sacrificed everything for me
C Em Dm G7
I stole the gold from your hair
G Am
I put the silver threads there
Dm G C A7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Dm G C
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
Dm G
Greatest friend, dearest pal
Em Am
It was me who caused you
F G Dm C
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
C Dm Em
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
Am D7 G
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
C Em Dm G7
Pal of my cradle days,
G C
I've needed you always
Em Am G G7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
G C
You sacrificed everything for me
C Em Dm G7
I stole the gold from your hair
G Am
I put the silver threads there
Dm G C A7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
Dm G C
Pal of my cradle days
