Submitted by Phil Ogden (MASP99@AOL.COM). This is my impression of George

Harrison's acoustical version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps found on The

Beatles Anthology 3 CD. I hope you enjoy it.

I don't know why nobody told you

Dm Am Dm

How to unfold your love

Em Bm Em Bm

I don't know how someone controlled you

Dm Am Dm

They bought and sold you.

Em Bm Em Bm

I don't know how you were diverted

Dm Am Dm

You were perverted too

I don't know how you were inverted

Dm Am Dm

No one alerted you.

Words

Intro

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

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

Ending
