While My guitar Gently Weeps (Acoustic) by George Harrison


NB: When you come across the asterix (*) on the second line,
play this:

1   2   3     4
--------5h6p5-----
------------------

I know it usually means a harmonic, but here it means a quick
hammeron followed by a pulloff (an upper mordent in musical
terms). I used the asterix to save space and to keep the beats
even on the page.

Everything else is as usual,
h meaning hammeron,
p meaning pulloff.

Also when you come to the end of the verse and the chorus, you
will come across something like this:  F (Dshape).

This means play an F Chord, but with a D Barre chord shape.
This is how it sounds in the song.

Em(Am) means exactly the same thing; play the Em Chord
with an Am Barre Chord shape.

Chorus 1:
~~~~~~~~~

Em(Am)        Bm(Dm)  Em(Am)   Bm(Dm)
 I don't know why     nobody   told you

Dm(Am)              D(A)
 How to unfold your love

Em(Am)        Bm(Dm)  Em (Am)    Bm(Dm)
 I don't know how     someone controlled you

Dm(Am)                D(A)
 They bought and sold you.


Chorus 2:
~~~~~~~~~

Em(Am)        Bm(Dm)  Em(Am)     Bm(Dm)
 I don't know how     you were diverted

Dm(Am)              D(A)
 You were perverted too

Em(Bm)        Bm(Dm)  Em(Am)     Bm(Dm)
 I don't know how     you were inverted

Dm(Am)          D(A)
 No one elated you.


Lyrics:
~~~~~~~

Verse 1:
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

Verse 2:
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one elated you

Verse 3:
I look from the wings at the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
As I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps
