Simon & Garfunkel – The Dangling Conversation (Ukulele)

       C          G     D
It's a still life water color

     C        G    D
Of a now late afternoon

       C          G           Am
As the sun shines through the curtain lace

    G                Em
And shadows wash the room

       G
And we sit and drink our coffee

F                              E
Cast in our indifference, like shells upon the shore

        D
You can hear the ocean roar

       C        G     D               G    D      C
In the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs

                   G    Em  
The borders of our lives

        C         G     D
And you read your Emily Dickenson

    C    G      D
And I my Robert Frost

       C        G          Am
And we note our place with bookmarkers

     G                  Em
That measure what we've lost

       G
Like a poem poorly written

       F                     E
We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme

   D
In syncopated time

        C        G     D               G    D      C
And the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs

                       G     Em  
Are the borders of our lives

       C        G           D
Yes we speak of things that matter

     C          G       D
With words that must be said

    C     G     Am
Can analysis be worthwhile

       G              Em
Is the theater really dead?

    G
And how the room is softly faded

      F                        E
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand

         D
You're a stranger now unto me

            C        G     D               G    D      C
Lost in the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs

                      G     Em   
In the borders of our lives
