Subject: Tab:  While My Guitar Gently Weeps

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

 How to unfold your love

 They bought and sold 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
