While My Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
And I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

[Verse 2]
I look at the world
And I notice
It's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
From every mistake
We must surely
Be learning
And still my guitar gently weeps
[Chorus]
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
And I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

[Verse 3]
I look at you all
See the love
There that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

[Outro]
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
