Gordon Lightfoot - In A Windowpane
CAPO: 2nd Fret
         C
[INTRO:] 
[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 
            C             G                C     G C
N.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 
            C             G                C     G C
N.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 
            C             G                C
N.C.                                        
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
                                                             F
Will you live your whole life through, never knowing what to do 
            C             G                C    D G C
N.C.                                                
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
