[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G My daddy had a Pontiac on the beige-er side of yellow G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G He was a young man then and I was a little fella G Cadd9 G I'd play in that bench back seat and listen to the songs get sung G G/F# Em7 D Cadd9 G He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but he'd sing at the top of his lungs
[Chorus 1]
G Em7 Cadd9 G Carry on my wayward son on a hippie radio G Em7 D Songs about the flower babies and the birth of rock and roll G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G And I was band and I would stand and we'd bounce down the road G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G A boy and his dad in a Pontiac with that hippie radio
G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G Can't' remember if it was seventeen, maybe eighteen is right G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G But I'll never forget those baby blues and the glow of that dashboard light G Cadd9 G I'd won her heart the week before and it was hot right from the start G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G I busted her brother Billy's mouth for makin' fun of my car
[Chorus 2]
G Em7 Cadd9 G It was White Wedding and Rebel Yell on the hippie radio G Em7 D I was Werewolf in London, and she was Lady Marmalade's soul G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G And I'd crank the band, take her hand and we'd pull off back a road G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G A boy and his girl in a Pontiac, and the hippie radio Bm A E Hey little sister what have you done Bm A E Hey little sister who's the only one Bm Hey little sister who's your superman A Hey little sister who's the one you want Bm Hey little sister shot gun!
[Chorus]
A E It's a nice day to start again Bm E D It's a nice day for a white wedding Bm E D Bm It's a nice day to start again.

D C G I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand D C G Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain D C G He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's D C G Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein D C G Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London D C G Ah-ooooo D C G Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London D C G Ah-ooooo
[Verse 1]
E G A child arrived just the other day A E Came to the world in the usual way E G There were planes to catch, bills to pay A E He learned to walk while i was away D He was talking 'fore i knew it and when he could, he said G E "I'm gonna be like you, dad, G E You know i'm gonna be like you"
[Chorus]
E G The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon G A Little boy blue and a man on the moon E G When you comin' home son, I don't know when D E We'll get together then, G E You know we'll have a good time then
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G Four years and seven days from tying cans to the bumper G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G I was pacing a maternity floor, my flower baby was a mother G Cadd9 G My hands were shaking as we were leaving, taking our boy home G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G My heart was full and in my head I could hear a long, long song
[Chorus 3]
G Em7 D G Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon on the hippie radio G Em7 D A-B-C, 1-2-3, don't blink or he'll be gone G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G And I took her hand and she just smiled with a look that said "I know" G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 A boy and his dad and a boy and his girl in a Pontiac D And the hippie radio
