THE DANGLING CONVERSATION
As reorded by Simon & Garfunkel
(From the 1966 Album PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME)
[Intro]
Eb Bb F Bb F/C Eb/Bb
Eb Bb Bb6 Bb7 Bb6
[Verse 1]
Bb6It's a Ebstill life Bbwater Fcolor
Of a Ebnow late BbafterFnoon
As the Ebsun shines Bbthrough the Fcurtained lace
And Bbshadows wash the Bb6room Bbmaj7 Bb6
And we Gmsit and drink our coffee
AbCouched in our indifference
Like Gshells upon the shore
You can Fhear the ocean roar
In the Ebdangling BbconverFsation
And the BbsuperFficial Ebsighs
The borders of our Bblives Bb6 Bbmaj7 Bb6
[Verse 2]
Bb6And you Ebread your Emily FDickinson
And EbI my BbRobert FFrost
And we Ebnote our Bbplace with Fbookmarkers
That Bbmeasure what we've Bb6lost Bbmaj7 Bb6
Like a Gmpoem poorly written
We are Abverses out of rhythm
GCouplets out of rhyme
In Fsyncopated time
And the Ebdangling BbconverFsation
And the BbsuperFficial Ebsighs
Are the borders of our Bblives Bb6 Bbmaj7 Bb6
[Verse 3]
Bb6Yes, we Ebspeak of Bbthings that Fmatter
With Ebwords that Bbmust be Fsaid
"Can anEbalyBbsis be Fworthwhile?"
"Is the Bbtheater really Bb6dead?"Bbmaj7 Bb6
And how the Gmroom is softly faded
And I Amonly kiss your shadow
I Gcannot feel your hand
You're a Fstranger now unto me
Lost in the Ebdangling BbconverFsation
And the Bbsuperficial Ebsighs
In the borders of our Bblives Bb6 Bbmaj7 Bb
