  • This is such a great song. The Original by The Beatles was great
    too, with all the crying effects on the guitar. This version is
    more subtle and melodic, but just as fantastic.
  •  
    The numbers above the Tab lines are to help you keep the beat
    when you are playing. Notes under the numbers are to be played
  • on the beat, and notes in between the numbers are to be played
    off the beat. This is how all standard notation works, though in
    most cases the numbers aren't there!
  •  
    NB: When you come across the asterix (*) on the second line,
    play this:
  •  
    1 2 3 4
    --------5h6p5-----
  • ------------------
     
    I know it usually means a harmonic, but here it means a quick
  • hammeron followed by a pulloff (an upper mordent in musical
    terms). I used the asterix to save space and to keep the beats
    even on the page.
  •  
    Everything else is as usual,
    h meaning hammeron,
  • p meaning pulloff.
     
    Also when you come to the end of the verse and the chorus, you
  • will come across something like this: F (Dshape).
     
    This means play an F Chord, but with a D Barre chord shape.
  • This is how it sounds in the song.
     
    Em(Am) means exactly the same thing; play the Em Chord
  • with an Am Barre Chord shape.

    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
     
  • 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
     
    Verse 2:
  • 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 elated you
  •  
    Verse 3:
    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
  •
