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
