While My Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics

[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

About

Regina Spektor’s cover of The Beatles' song “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” This version was recorded for the 2016 movie Kubo and the Two Strings, and played during the credit roll.

The fact that a Beatles song is featured in the film is funny and clever because one of the film’s characters is named “Beetle.”
