Across the Great Divide - Kate Wolf
ADA I've been walking in my sleep F#mD Counting troubles 'stead of counting sheep AF#m Where the years went I can't say DEA I just turned around and they've gone away
ADA I've been sifting through the layers F#mD Of dusty books and faded papers AF#m They tell a story I used to know DEA And it was one that happened so long ago
ADA Chorus: It's gone away in yesterday F#mD Now I find myself on the mountainside AEF#mA Where the rivers change direction DEA Across the Great Divide
ADA Now, I heard the owl a-callin' F#mD Softly as the night was fallin' AF#m With a question and I replied DEA But he's gone across the borderline
Chorus
ADA The finest hour that I have seen F#mD Is the one that comes between AF#m The edge of night and the break of day DEA It's when the darkness rolls away
