Gordon Lightfoot - In A Windowpane Ukulele

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
