Intro Gm Bb C D# Gm F Gm
I look at you all
C D# Gm
see the love there that`s sleeping
F C D
While my guitar gently weeps
Gm Bb
I look at the floor
C D# Gm
And I see it needs sweeping
F Bb D G
Still my guitar gently weeps
Bm Em Bm Am
I don`t know why... nobody told you...
D Am D G
How to unfold... your love
Bm Em Bm Am
I don`t know how... someone controlled you...
D D7
They bought and sold.... you
Gm Bb
I look at the world
C D# Gm
and I notice it`s turning
F C D Bb
While my guitar... gently weeps....
Gm Bb C D# Gm
With every mistake we must surely be learning
F Bb D G
Still my guitar... gently weeps....
Bm Em Bm Am
I don`t know how.... you were diverted....
D G
You were perverted too....
Bm Em Bm
I don`t know how.... you were inverted....
D
No one elected you....
Gm Bb C D# Gm
I look from the wings at the play you are staging
F C D
While my guitar gently weeps...
Gm Bb Em Gm D# Gm
As I`m sitting here doing nothing but ageing
F Bb D
Still my guitar gently weeps....
Gm Bb C D# Gm F Gm F Gm F Gm F Gm
