[Gm] While my old [F] uke gently [C] weeps [D]

[Gm] Still my old [F] uke gently [Bb] weeps. [D7]
[G] I don’t know [Bm] why [Em] nobody [G] told you
[Am] How to unfold your [D] love
[G] I don’t know [Bm] how [Em] someone con-[G]trolled you
[Am] They bought and sold [D7] you.
I [Gm] look at the [Gm7] world and I [C7] notice it’s [Eb] turning
[Gm] While my old [F] uke gently [C] weeps [D]
With [Gm] every mis [Gm7] take we must [C7] surely be [Eb] learning
[Gm] Still my old [F] uke gently [Bb] weeps. [D7]
[G] I don’t know [Bm] why [Em] you were di-[G]verted
[Am] You were perverted [D] too
[G] I don’t know [Bm] how [Em] you were in-[G]verted
[Am] No-one alerted [D7] you.

[Gm] Still my old [F] uke gently [Bb] weeps. [D7]
