Chords

[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
