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
