Intro
G C G D/F# G
Verse 1
G
Well I’m going down to Robert’s place,
C G D/F#
It’s just a block away, haven’t seen him in a real long time
G C G C D/F# G
And I think I’ll take some flowers and a couple extra hours to tell him all about my little life
G
Well I’m going down to Robert’s place,
C G D/F#
It’s there beneath the tree, I don’t know if he will recognise
G C G C D/F# G
My face, it’s gotten older, and I’ve got more on my shoulders, but I still hold on to his pretty eyes
Chorus
C G
And I know, yes I know he won’t hear me, he’s just bones,
Em D/F#
But it makes me feel much better to know he might care at all
C G
And I see, yes I see that he’s six feet under me,
C D/F# G
But sometimes I hope he is down the hall
Verse 2
G
Well I’m going down to Robert’s place,
C G D/F#
It’s more than overgrown, but I swear I’ll make it look real nice
G C G C D/F# G
With just a little weeding and a sprinkle of grass seeds and flowers in the colours that he likes
C G
Well I’m going down to Robert’s place with my favourite guitar,
D/F#
And I’ll play him all the songs I wrote last week
G C G C D/F# G
And he might not sing along and it might just take too long, but he knows how to make a boy feel seen
Chorus
C G
And I know, yes I know he won’t hear me, he’s just bones,
Em D/F#
But it makes me feel much better to know he might care at all
C G
And I see, yes I see that he’s six feet under me,
C D/F# G
But sometimes I hope he is down the hall
Verse 3
G C G
Well I went on down to Robert’s place and I felt inner peace,
D/F#
The silence like a blanket over me
G C G C D/F# G
And I saw the little tree, for once without its pretty leaves, while I enjoyed my father’s company
C G
Well I went on down to Robert’s place and I showed him this song
D/F#
And it about reduced me down to tears
G C G C D/F# G
And I sat, but not for long, because the chill brought winter on, but I want him to know that I’m still here
Chorus
C G
And I know, yes I know he won’t hear me, he’s just bones,
Em D/F#
But it makes me feel much better to know he might care at all
C G
And I see, yes I see that he’s six feet under me,
C D/F# G
But sometimes I hope he is down the hall
Verse 4
G C G
Someday I’ll go down to Robert’s place because I’m passing through
D/F#
And it would be the proper thing to do
G C G C D/F# G
And I’ll tell him how I’ve grown and how I’m living on my own, I know I’ll get there someday, maybe soon
