ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE

[intro]

          G      G   G   C       G   G   G
I've been walking        in my sleep
G/F#       Em    Em    Em           Em/D     C     C   C
Counting troubles        instead of counting sheep
C          G     G    G   G/F#    Em   Em   Em
Where the years went      I can't say
Em/D   C        C   D            D        G   G   G   G
I just turned around and they've gone away

And I've been sifting through the layers
Of dusty books and faded papers
They tell a story I used to know
And it was one that happened so long ago

                G   G   G    C      G   G   G
And it's gone away        in yesterday
G/F#  Em   Em     Em     Em/D    C    C   C   C
Now I find myself on the mountainside
          G      G/F#      Em    Em/D   C         D7       G
Where the rivers change direction      across the great divide

Now I heard the owl calling
Softly as the night was falling
With a question, and I replied
But he's gone across the great divide

He's gone away in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction across the great divide

[Instrumental, same chords as verse]

The finest hour that I have seen
Is the one that comes between
The edge of night and the break of day
It's when the darkness rolls away

And it's gone away in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
Where the rivers change direction across the great divide
And it's gone away in yesterday
Now I find myself on the mountainside
It's where the rivers change direction across the great divide
