🎸 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
