Robert J by 13ghosts
Hi everyone. So this is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands that no one
ever heard of. For
that reason, I doubt many will see this, but if you're also a fan of the band, welcome,
and if you're not I
encourage you to go to your streaming platform of choice and listen to some of their
songs.
This is a relatively easy song that I transcribed myself, including the lyrics, because
no one else had. I
have a few more of their songs I'm working on and will be posting, so if you're a fan,
stay tuned.

You're really just sliding a D7/G shape up the neck by a fourth to G7 here. Listen to
the song for timing.
[Intro]
C C/B x2
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am7
Robert j used to play
Am7/G
Till he went out of his head
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
And the bands went by so fast
C C/B Am7
Robert sang and he raged
Am7/G
And the days marched on their path
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
And when Robert looked behind him
Am Fm C C/B x2
There were those who were sad to see him go
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am7
Still he worked when he could
Am7/G
He sang those songs at heart
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
In the bars on the weeknights
C C/B Am7
There were those who rejoiced
Am7/G
That knew all of the words
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
Even when Robert didn’t
Am Fm C C/B x2
And there were those who had come to see him fail
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am7
Robert J went out one day
Am7/G
He didn’t come back home
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
Till the end of February
C C/B Am7
His fingernails were a mess
Am7/G
All the dirt and promises
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
He’d been clinging to for so long
Am Fm
Robert j went out one day…
C C/B x2
[Solo]

Robert j said to me,
Am7/G
“Man I never wanna be
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
just a guy that you used to know.”
C C/B Am7
I said, “Hey, Robert j,
Am7/G
I’ll make a deal with you:
F Am/E Dm D7/G G7
I’ll write a song about your passing.”
Am Fm
But Robert j said that’s okay…
