Gordon Lightfoot - In A Windowpane
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
I looked into a windowpane
D
Last evening in a city far away
G
I was feeling sad and blue
C
I wondered then if I should really stay
[VERSE 2:]
Wanting someone to be with me
D
In the light of this uncertain time
G
Waiting by the window for the man inside
C
To please make up his mind
[CHORUS:]
F G
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Em Am F G
Never knowing, never feeling anything___
C F
Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do
N.C. C G C G C
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
[VERSE 3:]
I walked along the roadway to a fountain
D
Where lovers come to meet
G
A hobo walked up to me, I could tell
C
He didn't have enough to eat
[VERSE 4:]
He said, "Good sir, you look so kind
D
And though the years have stripped me to the bone
G
It seems I am the better man
C
For in this place I've never walked alone"
[CHORUS:]
F G
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Em Am F G
Never knowing, never feeling anything___
C F
Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do
N.C. C G C G C
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
[VERSE 5:]
"Where will you be, my friendly
D
When your telephone ain't giving out no calls
G
And when the seasons come to haunt you
C
Will you still find the springtime in the fall"
[VERSE 6:]
"And when you're on your island
D
Will you wave at every ship that passes by
G
And will you feed a hungry man
C
I thank you, sir, now I'll just say goodbye"
[CHORUS:]
F G
Don't you be one who passed through but never saw
Em Am F G
Never knowing, never feeling anything___
C F
Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do
N.C. C G C
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
F
Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do
N.C. C G C D G C
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
