I [Gm] look at you [Gm7] all, see the [C7] love there that’s [Eb] sleeping, 
[Gm] While my old [F] uke gently [C] weeps [D] 
I [Gm] look at the [Gm7] floor and I [C7] see it needs [Eb] sweeping 
[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.
{c: Alternate verse from LOVE version}
I [Gm] look from the [Gm7] wings, at the [C7] play you are [Eb] staging
[Gm] While my old [F] uke gently [C] weeps [D]
As [Gm] I'm sitting [Gm7] here, doing [C7] nothing but [Eb] aging
[Gm] Still my old [F] uke gently [Bb] weeps. [D7] 

I [Gm] look at you [Gm7] all see the [C7] love there that’s [Eb] sleeping, 
[Gm] While my old [F] uke gently [C] weeps [D] 
[Gm] Look at you [Gm7] all . . .   [C7]   [Eb] 
[Gm] Still my old [F] uke gently [Bb] weeps. [D7]
