[Verse]
Eb
Robbie was a drummer in a rock band
Cm
Robbie had problems he felt
Nobody could understand
Eb
Robbie was a smart kid
I'm not truly sure
Cm
But my mother said he was
Ab
So I guess I believe her
[Verse]
Ab Eb
He left these old vinyls in my house
Cm A#
Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead
Ab Eb
But mom never played a single one
Cm A#
I asked her why and she said
Ab Eb
That they were her brother's records once
Cm A#
And they had painful stories from long ago
Fm Eb Ab
So my uncle's old stuff sits on the shelf
Cm A#
With a history that nobody can know
[Verse]
Eb
Grandma told stories about Robbie
Cm
How he'd play his drums so loud
And wake the house at three AM
Eb
Mom put his picture right next to one of me
Cm
She said there's some resemblance
Ab
But I guess I couldn't see
[Verse]
Ab Eb
Maybe there was something even then
Cm A#
And my mother just knew
Ab Eb
That it was the music in our hearts
Cm A#
That connected us two
Ab Eb
Maybe just the twinkles in his eyes
Cm A#
Had projected on to me
Fm Ab
I was proud to share something
A# Eb
With Robbie
[Verse]
Gm Cm
Well mom said that Robbie was never really happy
Gm Ab Eb
He always seemed to run with the wrong crowd
Gm Cm
Mom sort of always blamed it on her parents
Ab A#
Even though she'd never dare to say it out loud
Ab Eb Cm A#
January 21st, 1980
Ab Eb A#
My mother got a telephone call
Ab Eb
She always knew that there was something wrong
A# Cm Ab Eb
But she didn't see that coming, at all
Ab A#
And now I'm getting older
Gm Cm
This time of year's the worst
Ab A#
My birthday's a few days away
Gm Cm
January 21st
Ab A#
Mom never made a deal of it
Gm Cm Fm
She always tried to make me see
Ab Gm Cm
That even though Robbie was gone
Gm Cm
Now she had me
[Verse]
Ab Eb
He left those old vinyls in my house
Cm A#
I try to play one every year
Ab Eb
To remember what we once lost
Eb A#
To embrace the memory
A#
Of when Robbie was here
