A Note from The Administrators of Uncyclopedia
Despite the above title, please note that this HowTo article is not meant to be taken as any sort of suggestion or guide for engaging in various recreational activities in the intermediate proximity of a stringed musical instrument belonging to the original writer of this article, which is itself manifesting symptoms of psychological turmoil and distress. Rather, the reference is properly to the title of a song written and performed by the late and former Beatle George Harrison (1943-2001), and how to play the aforementioned singular song on one's privately-owned guitar in a plausibly convincing manner solely for the nonfinancial benefit of ones self and/or inner circle of friends or family. As such, the title of this article was never meant to be taken literally. GUITARS DO NOT WEEP. They are, for the most part, inanimate objects through which musicians may or may not convey their own inner emotional states.
To all readers who are unfamiliar with the works of George Harrison, Uncyclopedia apologizes for this unintended ambiguity.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a song written by George Harrison of the Beatles. Due to possible copyright infringement and subsequent litigation, most of the original lyrics have been removed. For the convenience of guitar players, the chords for the song are included. And for the convenience of new players, the chord diagrams can be found by clicking on the link.
