While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Tabbed by: Ed Email: edward_co@snet.net Tuning: Standard This song has kinda difficult bends if you do it the right way. There is an easier way tabbed with hammer ons and stuff, and while I haven't tried it, its gotten good feedback. Make sure you read what I write, it may seem like a lot but I play the song perfectly, and this is it. The notes explain exactly how to play the part, as I don't know the symbols used here very well. First, the chords for the verses. 1 2 <--------------> <--------------> Am Am/G D7/F# F Am G D E7 C E7 e|--0--||--0--||--0--||--1--||--0--||--3--||--2--||--0--| |--0--||--0--| B|--1--||--1--||--1--||--1--||--1--||--0--||--3--||--0--| |--1--||--0--| G|--2--||--2--||--2--||--2--||--2--||--0--||--2--||--1--| |--0--||--1--| D|--2--||--2--||--0--||--3--||--2--||--0--||--0--||--0--| |--2--||--0--| A|--0--||--0--||--0--||--3--||--0--||--2--||--x--||--2--| |--3--||--2--| E|--x--| --3--||--2--||--1--||--x--||--3--||--x--||--0--| |--x--||--0--| Piano Intro Am Am/G D7/F# F Am e|-5--55--55--55--5|5--55--55-55--55-|5--55--55--7--8--|10--8--10--|-12-8--| B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|-----10| G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|-------| D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|-------| A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|-------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|-------| G D E7 e|-10--7-----|--10--------|-------0--2/4--| B|--------8--|-----10-----|---------------| G|-----------|--------11--|-------1--2/4--| D|-----------|------------|---------------| A|-----------|------------|---------------| E|-----------|------------|----0----------| e|----------------------------------------| }Strike the 10---|s while they're B|-10b-10b-10br10--9-9-9b--------------------------------------| }bent, then return down on the G|-------------------------7b-7b-------------------------------| }third time.
