A                 D     A 
I've been walking in my sleep 
         F#m                         D 
Counting troubles 'stead of counting sheep 
          A                  F#m 
Where the years went I can't say 
       D             E                A 
I just turned around and they've gone away  
A                 D           A 
I've been sifting through the layers 
         F#m             D 
Of dusty books and faded papers 
            A               F#m 
They tell a story I used to know 
                    D        E       A 
And it was one that happened so long ago 
                
***Chorus:                 
A                 D     A 
It's gone away in yesterday 
                      F#m                        D 
Now I find myself on the mountainside 
                          A      E        F#m   A 
Where the rivers change direction 
                 D         E       A 
Across the Great Divide 
A                D     A 
Now, I heard the owl a-callin' 
       F#m              D 
Softly as the night was fallin' 
       A                F#m 
With a question and I replied 
         D     E               A 
But he's gone across the borderline 

Chorus 
 A                   D      A 
The finest hour that I have seen 
       F#m               D 
Is the one that comes between 
            A                      F#m 
The edge of night and the break of day 
              D        E       A 
It's when the darkness rolls away 

***Chorus Twice
