E                    B
 Robert lead me into thought
G                      C 
 Onion layers wait for you
F#                 B 
 Bounty of eternal fields
E                    B
 Every muscle knot i feel feel
G                        C
 Robert tell me what to do
F#                        B
 Tell exactly what you're not
E      G       C
 Tails pushing grand whales
D
 Heads hope to have the stuff
E     G        C     
 Each flag had no sail
D
 Can you believe enough?
E                          B
 And though diana calls to you
G                     C
 She will never never yield
F#                   B 
 Every siren has her spot
E     G       C
 Four hundred million
D 
 Oh, that is very far
E     G       C
 Robert sweet onion

D
 Makes me feel so tired
E   G    C         F          D
 Another layer and layers and layers oh, no
E       A       D         C#m
 Robert can you find your way?
D           C       A
 Show me the way to come
E         A     D     C#m
 Zugzwang got me in a way
D        C         A
 Under my opposing thumb
E              B 
 Branishing my shield
G                     C 
 Robert leads me into thought
F#                B 
 Into the dimming blue
E    G      C
 Nowhere in this world
D
 for this old jack-tar
E      G          C
 three cheers for robert
D
 to the cinnabar
E    G       C          F          D          G
 one ponders layers and layers and layers and layers
F          D          G
layers and layers and layers  
F          D          G
layers and layers and layers 
F          D           G   F  D     G   F  D    G
layers and layers, Robert,      Robert       Robert
