While My Guitar Gently Weeps chords by Kenny Rankin

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I have performed this version of the song since I heard it back in the 70s.
There is a lot of orchestration in Rankin's version, but this chord grouping seems to hold it all together.



     Am        Am/G    D9/F#                          FM7
 I look at you all,        see the love there that's sleeping
 Am          G           D       E
 While my guitar gently weeps.
  Am           Am/G    D9/F#                  FM7
 I look at the floor,      and I see it needs sweeping,
Am           G          D         E
 Still my guitar gently weeps.

 AM7          C#m  F#m       C#m          Cdim
 I don't know why     nobody told you
Bm          Bm7(b5)   E
   How to unfold your love.
 AM7          C#m  F#m           C#m           Cdim
 I don't know how     someone controlled you,
 Bm                 Bm7(b5)    E
    They bought and sold      you.

 Am                  Am/G           D9/F#        FM7
 I look at the world and I notice it's turning,
 Am          G            D         E
 While my guitar gently weeps.
Am             Am/G              D9/F#         FM7
 With every mistake,    we must surely be learning,
Am           G          C         E
 Still my guitar gently weeps.

 AM7          C#m  F#m           C#m     Cdim
 I don't know how    you were diverted,
 Bm             Bm7(b5)     E
    You were perverted     too.
 AM7          C#m  F#m            C#m    Cdim
 I don't know how ?     you were inverted,
 Bm        Bm7(b5)            E
 No-one alerted you.

 Am                   Am/G         D9/F#                   FM7
 I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping,
 Am                   G                         D       E
 While my guitar gently weeps.
 Am                  Am/G         D9/F#        F
 I look at you all
 Am                 G                 C        E
 Still my guitar gently weeps.
