Dangling Conversation Chords
This was transcribed from http://www.paul-simon.info/ , it is 100% correct.
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
And shadows wash the room.
Chorus:
A6 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
That measure what we've lost.
Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/simon_and_garfunkel/dangling_conversation_crd_ver_2.html ]
A6 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
"Is the theater really dead?"
Chorus:
A6 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
In the borders of our lives.
(If you wish to play with without a capo, just transpose the chords up one half-step
