George’s written lyrics to While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Recorded: 25 July; 16 August; 3, 5, 6 September 1968
Released: 22 November 1968 (UK), 25 November 1968 (US)

I wrote While My Guitar Gently Weeps at my mother’s house in Warrington. I was thinking about the Chinese I Ching, the Book of Changes… The Eastern concept is that whatever happens is all meant to be, and that there’s no such thing as coincidence - every little item that’s going down has a purpose.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps was a simple study based on that theory. I decided to write a song based on the first thing I saw upon opening any book - as it would be a relative to that moment, at that time. I picked up a book at random, opened it, saw ‘gently weeps’, then laid the book down again and started the song.

-George (from Anthology)
