A D A
I've been walking in my sleep
F#m D
Counting troubles 'stead of counting sheep.
A F#m
Where the years went I can't say.
D E A
I just turned around and they're gone away.
A D A
I've been sifting through the layers
F#m D
Of dusty books and faded papers
A F#m
That tell a story I used to know,
D E A
And it was one that happened so long ago.
A D A
It's gone away in yesterday,
F#m D
Now I find myself on the mountainside
A E F#m A
Where the rivers change direction
D E A
Across the Great Divide.
A D A
Now I heard the owl callin'
F#m D
Softly, as the night was fallin',
A F#m
With a question, and I replied,
D E A
But he's gone across the borderline.
Chorus: "He's gone away, .... .")
A D A
The finest hour that I have seen
F#m D
Is the one that comes between
A F#m
The edge of night and the break of day.
D E A
It's when the darkness rolls away.
Chorus twice,
