[Bb]
[Gm] [Gm] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Gm] [Eb]
Robby was a drummer in a rock band.
Robby had a heart that he felt nobody could understand.
Robby was a smart kid, I'm not really sure.
But my [C] mother says he was, so I guess I [Eb] believe her.
[Ab]
[Eb] He left these old vinyls in my house,
Pink [Cm]
Floyd, The [Bb] Grateful Dead.
But Mom [Eb] never played a single one.
I asked her [Cm]
why, and [Bb] she said
that [Eb] they were her brother's records once.
Though they [Cm] have painful [Ab] stories [Bb] from long ago,
[Fm] to my uncle's [Eb] old stuff sits on the shelf
[Ab] with a history [Bb] that nobody [Eb] can teach.
My mom told stories of Robby,
how [Cm] he played his drums so loud
and raked the house every day.
[Eb] Mom put this picture right next to one of me.
She [Cm] said there's some resemblance
that I guess I couldn't see.
[Eb]
Maybe there was something even then,
[Cm] my mother [Bb] just knew,
[F] that it was the music in our [Eb] hearts
that [Cm] connected us [Bb] through.
Maybe [Eb] just a twinkle in his eyes
[Cm] projected [Bb] on to me.
[Fm]
I [Eb] was proud to share something [Bb] with [Eb]
Robby.
[Gm] Mom said that [Eb] Robby [Cm] was never really [Eb] happy.
[Gm] He always seemed [Eb] to run with the wrong crowd.
[Gm] Mom said I always [Cm] blamed it on her parents,
[Ab] even though she never dared [Bb] to say it out loud.

January 21st, [Cm]
[Bb] 1980,
my [Eb] mother got a telephone call.

[Eb] She always knew that there was something wrong,
[Bb] but [Cm] she didn't see [Bb] this coming.

[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Eb] Now I'm getting [Bb] older,
this [Gm] time of year's [Cm] the worst.
[F] My birthday's a few days away,
[Eb] January 21st.
Mom never made [Bb] a deal of it,
she [Gm] always [Eb] tried [Cm] to make me [Ab] [Eb] see.
Even though Robby, [Bb] [Gm]
now [Cm] she had [Ab] me.
[Bb]
[Gm] [Eb]
She [Ab] left those old vinyls in [Eb] my house,
I [Ab] tried to play one every year.
Do you remember what we [Cm] [Eb] once lost?
To embrace the memory
[Bb]
of when Robby was [Eb]
me.
