about

Adapted from “Mom’s Guitar” by Stuart Kabak. Stu gave me permission to change the words, and turn his original song to a tribute to Gilad Deshe, my husband's first cousin, who was killed on the first day of the Yom Kippur War.

lyrics

First finger, second fret
Listen to the sound you get
He loved me from the day we met
I’m Gilad’s guitar
He promised me when we were young
I’d be his gift to a cherished one
And now you’re here his will be done
I’m Gilad’s guitar

Reminder of the price he paid
I’m hand crafted, tailor made
I sound better the more I’m played

First finger, second string
Leave the buzz out make me ring
I know you have a song to sing
I’m Gilad’s guitar

The songs he loved will never fade
They live in all the dues we paid
I sound better the more I’m played

And I hope one day before we’re gone
You’ll have a child and pass me on
You can introduce me saying
This was Gilad’s guitar

First finger, second fret
Listen to the sound you get
I loved him from the day we met
I’m Gilad’s guitar (in your hands now)
I’m Gilad’s guitar (make us proud)
I’m Gilad’s guitar
