Melodi: George Harrison 1968 - Tekst: George Harrison 1968
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 you all;
see the love there that's sleeping
while my guitar gently weeps.
I look at you all.
Still my guitar gently weeps.
I look at the world
and I notice it's turning
while my guitar gently weeps.
With ev'ry 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 at you all;
see the love there that's sleeping
while my guitar gently weeps.
I look at you all.
Still my guitar gently weeps.
Fra Beatles' 'White Album', 1968. På dette tidspunkt er Beatles ved at vokse fra hinanden som gruppe; sangene har karakter af solosange med backing og ikke som tidligere hele gruppens sange. På dette nummer medvirkede Eric Clapton som guitarist.
