Bed by the window Misc
[C]Two old friends shared a room,
In a [Am]home for the elderly,
[F]Confined to their beds,
Their bodies had given Ī[C]way,
Old Joe lay by the window,
And [Am]watched the days go [C]by,
An [F]Bill lived to hear him tell,
[C]About the world o[G]utsid[G7]e.
Chorus
>From the[C] bed by the [Am]window,
Heād [F]tell how the children [C]play,
The [F]lovers in the p[C]ark,
The [Am]ducks out on the l[G]ake,[G7]
The little [C]boy who swept the s[Am]idewalk,
When the [F]sun came up each d[C]ay,
>From the [F]bed by the [C]window,
He [Am]told it [G]just that [C]way.
[2]They shared with each other,
The stories of their lives,
They relived all their memories,
And dreamed of better days,
Outside the leaves were falling,
The summer turned to fall,
And from the bed by the window,
Old Joe described it all.
[3] [C]When on a cold winter morning,
In the [Am]light of dawn,
The [F]bed by the window was empty,
Old Joe was g[C]one.
And when they moved Bill to the window,
He c[Am]ouldnāt hold back the t[C]ears,
When he [F]finally saw the view outs[C]ide,
After all those y[G]ears,[G7]
>From the[Am] bed by the w[C]indow,
He c[Am]ouldnāt see out at [G]all,
There was [Am]nothing out that w[C]indow,
Bu[Am]t an old, brick, [G]wall[G7].
[4]Now a new man shares that room,
In the home for the elderly,
Confined to his bed,
His bodyās wasted Īway
Olā Bill lays by the window,
And as the days go by,
His new friend lives to hear him tell,
ĪBout the world outside.
