Across The Great Divide(Chords)

	        
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,  
  
Tag: 
                 A               F#m   A     D           E         A 
Where the rivers change direction across the Great Divide.
