Joan Baez - Dangling Conversation Chords

[Intro]
D  Am D
 
 
[Verse 1]
       Am               D
It's a still life water color
     Am            D
Of a now late afternoon
       Am                     D
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
    Bm      G
And shadows wash the room
       Em                    C
And we sit and drink our coffee
F
Couched in our indifference
     E
Like shells upon the shore
        D
You can hear the ocean roar
 
 
[Chorus]
D
In the dangling conversation
                    Em
And the superficial sighs
             C          G    Em    C G Em Am C G
That are the borders of our lives
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Am              D
And you read your Emily Dickinson
    Am          D
And I my Robert Frost
                Am         D7
And we note our place with bookmarkers
     G
That measure what we've lost
       Em              C
Like a poem poorly written
       F
We are verses out of rhythm
E
Couplets out of rhyme
   D
In syncopated time
 
 
[Chorus]
D
In the dangling conversation
        Bm          G
And the superficial sighs
             C          G     Em
That are the borders of our lives
 
 
[Verse 3]
       Am
And we speak of things that matter
Am
With words that must be said
                 D
"Can an*lysis be worthwhile?"
        G
"Is the church really dead?"
            Em
And how the room is softly faded     
      F
I can only kiss your shadow
  E
I cannot feel your hand
         D
You're a stranger now unto me
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
D
Lost in the dangling conversation
                    G
And the superficial sighs
             C          G    Am D C G C  G
That are the borders of our lives
