In A Windowpane chords by Gordon Lightfoot

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
