CRobert was a poet in a way you can describe
Searching all the Csustrashcans in the Amcorner of his Dmind
CLeaving all the B7memories of Amwhat he had Dinside
Now he’s a Cwandering in Fheaven all the Ctime
CRobert was a hobo, living with the word
Every dime and Csusmore then just a Ampayment from the Ddirt
CSpending all his B7days without a Ambalance on the Dline
Now he’s a Cwandering in Fheaven all the Ctime
FAlltough he’s not the same to you, Cthe wrong it Csuscan be Amright
D7Now i see that live is just the Gonly way to G7die
FAnd though he may not look to you a Ckeeper Csusof the Ammind
D7All you did was keeping him insideG  G7

A smile upon his Csusface never Ampayed a single Ddeuce
