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