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
   G G/F#   Em              C
Of dusty    books and faded papers
G                   G    G/F#  Em
They tell a story I used to    know
                    C          D       G
And it was one that happened   so long ago

Chorus 1

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

      G         C   G
Now I heard the owl calling
G G/F#   Em               C
Softly   as the night was falling
       G             G G/F# Em
With a question, and I replied
         C    D          G
But he's gone across the borderline

Chorus 2

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 4

G          G         C      G
The finest hour that I have seen
G  G/F# Em             C
Is the  one that comes between
            G             G     G/F# Em
The edge of night and the break of   day
              C          D     G
It's when the darkness   rolls away

Chorus/Outro

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
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...
