A5 D5 A5
I've been walking in my sleep
F#5 D5
Counting troubles 'stead of counting sheep
A5 F#5
Where the years went I can't say
D5 E5 A5
I just turned around and they've gone away
A5 D5 A5
I've been sifting through the layers
F#5 D5
Of dusty books and faded papers
A5 F#5
They tell a story I used to know
D5 E5 A5
And it was one that happened so long ago
***Chorus:
A5 D5 A5
It's gone away in yesterday
F#5 D5
Now I find myself on the mountainside
A5 E5 F#5 A5
Where the rivers change direction
D5 E5 A5
Across the Great Divide
A5 D5 A5
Now, I heard the owl a-callin'
F#5 D5
Softly as the night was fallin'
A5 F#5
With a question and I replied
D5 E5 A5
But he's gone across the borderline
Chorus
A5 D5 A5
The finest hour that I have seen
F#5 D5
Is the one that comes between
A5 F#5
The edge of night and the break of day
D5 E5 A5
It's when the darkness rolls away
***Chorus Twice
