Verse 1:
          A
I've been walkin' in my sleep
         Gbm                          D
Countin' troubles instead of countin' sheep
          A                  Gbm
Where the years went I can't say
       D            E                  A
I just turned around and they've gone away

Verse 2:
          A
I've been siftin' through the layers
         Gbm             D
Of dusty books and faded papers
            A               Gbm
They tell a story I used to know
                    D       E         A
And it was one that happened so long ago

Chorus:
           A
It's gone away yesterday
      Gbm                        D
Now I find myself on the mountainside
          A               Gbm
Where the rivers change direction
 D         E       A
Across the Great Divide

Verse 3:
       A
Now, I heard the owl a-callin'
       Gbm              D
Softly as the night was fallin'
       A                Gbm
With a question and I replied
         D     E               A
But he's gone across the borderline

Chorus:
           A
He's gone away yesterday
      Gbm                        D
Now I find myself on the mountainside
          A               Gbm
Where the rivers change direction
 D         E       A
Across the Great Divide

Verse 4:
           A
The finest hour that I have seen
       Gbm              D
Is the one that comes between
            A                      Gbm
The edge of night and the break of day
              D       E       A
It's when the darkness rolls away

Chorus:
           A
It's gone away yesterday
      Gbm                        D
Now I find myself on the mountainside
          A               Gbm
Where the rivers change direction
 D         E       A
Across the Great Divide

Chorus:
               A
And it's gone away yesterday
      Gbm                        D
Now I find myself on the mountainside
          A               Gbm
Where the rivers change direction
 D         E       A
Across the Great Divide
