Across The Divide

                                                                             Kate Wolf

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

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

                 Now I heard the owl callin'
                 Softly as the night was fallin'
                 With a question, and I replied
                 But he's gone across the borderline
                         He's gone away in yesterday
                         And I find myself on the mountainside
                         Where the rivers change direction
                         Across the great divide
                                 *Solo*

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