G G G/F# Em C
G G G/F# Em C D G
[Verse 1]
G C G
I've been walking in my sleep
G G/F# Em C
Counting troubles instead of counting sheep
G G G/F# Em
Where the years went, I can't say
C D G
I just turned around and they've gone away
[Verse 2]
G C G
And I've been sifting through the layers
Em C
Of dusty books and faded papers
G Em
They tell a story I used to know
C D G
it was one that happened so long ago
[Chorus]
G C G
It's gone away in yesterday
G G/F# Em C
And I find myself on the mountainside
G G/F# Em
Where the rivers change direction
C D G
Across the great divide
[Verse 3]
G C G
Now I heard the owl calling
Em C
Softly as the night was falling
G Em
With a question, and I replied
C D G
But he's gone across the borderline
[Chorus]
G C G
It's gone away in yesterday
G G/F# Em C
And I find myself on the mountainside
G G/F# Em
Where the rivers change direction
C D G
Across the great divide
[Verse 4]
G C G
The finest hour that I have seen
Em C
Is the one that comes between
G Em
The edge of night and the break of day
C D G
It's when the darkness rolls away
[Chorus]
G C G
It's gone away in yesterday
G G/F# Em C
And I find myself on the mountainside
G G/F# Em
Where the rivers change direction
C D G
Across the great divide
G C G
It's gone away in yesterday
G G/F# Em C
And I find myself on the mountainside
G G/F# Em
Where the rivers change direction
C D G
Across the great divide
