[Intro]

[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 1]
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

[Shamisen Solo]

[Chorus 2]
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
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
Look at you all…
Still my guitar gently weeps…

[Instrumental]

[Ending]
While my guitar gently weeps
Still my guitar gently weeps
While my guitar gently weeps
Still my guitar gently weeps
