[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
