Song For Richard Collopy - Sun Kil Moon[00:00:00]

He worked from morning to ten at night sometimes three am [00:00:13]

Fixing guitars for a living honing and polishing frets [00:00:19]

Setting the intonation and set the action good [00:00:26]

Carving saddles from ox bone bridges from Brazilian wood [00:00:32]

He fixed my old Gibson L double O [00:00:38]

He reset the neck used a patch of bondo [00:00:44]

Near the sound-hole where the wood wore away [00:00:50]

From many years of age and hard play [00:00:55]

Sometime he'd leave without warning and just close up shop [00:01:00]

No sign no message no call no nothing he just stopped [00:01:06]

Coming to work and picking up the telephone[00:01:13]

I left more than a few messages for him after the tone[00:01:19]

All summer he wouldn't return my calls[00:01:25]

Hey Richard I'd like my guitar back by fall [00:01:30]

Got a record to make and a promise to bring [00:01:36]

A tour in England a smile to feigng [00:01:42]

September or maybe October he called and said it was done [00:01:47]

I got in the taxi and got my guitar and man that thing sung [00:01:53]

Like a choir of angels and the neck it felt great [00:02:00]

And that was the last time i saw him late 2008 [00:02:06]

Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why [00:02:13]

Did you have to go off with the birds in the sky [00:02:18]

You were the best guitar guy out west [00:02:23]

I cherish your work and wish you good rest [00:02:28]

Why Richard Collopy Why Why [00:02:34]

Did you have to lie down and close your eyes [00:02:39]

Close down your shop and not say goodbye [00:02:45]

I'll own this guitar for the rest of my life [00:02:50]

I'll play this guitar for the rest of my life [00:02:55]

Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why[00:03:01]

Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why[00:03:07]
