<P> 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 . </P> <P> "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 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 . </P> <P> The initial incarnation was not final, as Harrison said: "Some of the words to the song were changed before I finally recorded it ." A demo recorded at George's home in Esher includes an unused verse: </P> <Dl> <Dd> I look at the trouble and see that it's raging, </Dd> <Dd> While my guitar gently weeps . </Dd> <Dd> As I'm sitting here, doing nothing but ageing, </Dd> <Dd> Still, my guitar gently weeps . </Dd> </Dl>
