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  

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.  


[Refrão]
 
(G)       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  

Now I heard the owl calling  
Softly as the night was falling,  
With a question, and I replied,  
But he's gone across the borderline.  


[Refrão]
 
He's gone away in yesterday,  
And I find myself on the mountainside  
Where the rivers change direction  
Across the great divide.   

solo/break (Verse)  

verse 4  

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.

                 G  G/F                  Em 
Where the rivers change direction  
C          D     G     
Across the great divide.
