The Dangling Conversation Cifras

"The Dangling Conversation"
Simon & Garfunkel
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
 
Capo on 1st fret.
 
 
[Verse]
 
       D          A     E
It's a still life water color,
     D        A    E
Of a now late afternoon,
       D          A           E
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
    A                A6   Amaj7   A6
And shadows wash the room.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       F#m                      D/F#   F#m
And we sit and drink our coffee
G
Couched in our indifference,
     F#
Like shells upon the shore
        E
You can hear the ocean roar
       D        A     E
In The Dangling Conversation
        A    E      D
And the superficial sighs,
                   A      A6   Amaj7   A6
The borders of our lives.
 
 
[Verse]
 
        D         A     E
And you read your Emily Dickinson,
    D    A      E
And I my Robert Frost,
       D        A          E
And we note our place with bookmarkers
     A                  A6   Amaj7   A6
That measure what we've lost.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       F#m                 D/F#    F#m
Like a poem poorly written
       G
We are verses out of rhythm,
F#
Couplets out of rhyme,
   E
In syncopated time
        D        A     E
And The Dangling Conversation
        A    E      D
And the superficial sighs,
                       A      A6   Amaj7   A6
Are the borders of our lives.
 
 
[Verse]
 
        D        A           E
Yes, we speak of things that matter,
     D          A       E
With words that must be said,
      D   A      E
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
        A              A6   Amaj7   A6
"Is the theater really dead?"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            F#m                  D/F#  F#m
And how the room is softly faded
      G
And I only kiss your shadow,
  F#
I cannot feel your hand,
         E
You're a stranger now unto me
            D        A     E
Lost in The Dangling Conversation
        A    E      D
And the superficial sighs,
                      A      A6   Amaj7   A6   A
In the borders of our lives.
