Across the Great Divide-    Kate Wolf
 
A                           D       A
I've been walkin' in my sleep
                F#m                                     D
Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
                    A                           F#m
Where the years went I can't say
            D                    E                             A
I just turned around and they've gone away
 
A                          D                A
I've been siftin' through the layers
                 F#m                    D
Of dusty books and faded papers
                     A                     F#m
They tell a story I used to know
                  D              E              A
One that happened so long ago
 
 
CHORUS:
A                            D        A
It's gone away in yesterday
          F#m                                        D
Now I find myself on the mountainside
                   A                      F#m
Where the rivers change direction
      D            E           A
Across the Great Divide
 
 
A                           D      A
Now, I heard the owl a-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
 
                           D        A
It's gone away in yesterday…..
 

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
 
                                      D        A
And it's gone away in yesterday…
