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
