🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • While my guitar gently weeps
  • I look at the floor
  • And I see it needs sweeping
  • Still my guitar gently weeps

Sing it again — final chorus

  • While my guitar gently weeps
  • With every mistake
  • We must surely be learning
  • Still my guitar gently weeps
guitargentlyweeps
