Chords with lyrics

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles

Here are the chords for the acoustic version.  Others have tabbed the picking pattern pretty close but I like having all the lyrics on the page. Harrison plays it with the capo in the 5th fret.


 DmDm     Dm/C	  Dm/B	    BB
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping

DmDm     C majorC 	    G+G	A augmentedA
While my guitar gently weeps

 DmDm     Dm/C	  Dm/B	     BB
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

DmDm     C majorC 	  	FF	A augmentedA
Still my guitar gently weeps

D MajorD        F# minorF#m B minorBm   F# minorF#m
  I don't know why nobody told you

E minorEm         A augmentedA
How to unfold your love

D MajorD        F# minorF#m B minorBm   F# minorF#m
  I don't know how someone controlled you

E minorEm          A augmentedA
They bought and sold you


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 alerted you


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
