(c)1968 Harrisongs Limited. Words & Music by George Harrison.
Eric Clapton played lead guitar on this song. He and George Harrison were good friends, but George had to convince him to come to the studio because Clapton was worried the other Beatles wouldn't want him there. Clapton's presence eased the mood in the studio at a tense time for The Beatles. They were at each other's throats during recording of The White Album, but they all relaxed when Clapton showed up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I look at u 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 you 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#
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 Y´ALL!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The song was ranked #135 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, #7 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time, and #10 on their list of The Beatles 100 Greatest Songs
