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.
(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.
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.
