Cappo on 2nd

G
I've been walkin' in my sleep
Em C
Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
G Em
Where the years went I can't say
C D G
I just turned around and they've gone away

G
I've been siftin' through the layers
Em C
Of dusty books and faded papers
G Em
They tell a story I used to know
C D G
And it was one that happened so long ago

G
It's gone away in yesterday
Em C
Now I find myself on the moutainside
G Em
Where the rivers change direction
D G
Across the Great Divide

G
Now, I hear the owl a-callin'
Em C
Softly as the night was fallin'
G Em
With a question and I replied
C D G
But he's gone across the borderline


G
He's gone away in yesterday
Em C
Now I find myself on the moutainside
G Em
Where the rivers change direction
D G
Across the Great Divide


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

G
It's gone away in yesterday
Em C
Now I find myself on the moutainside
G Em
Where the rivers change direction
D G
Across the Great Divide


G
It's gone away in yesterday
Em C
Now I find myself on the moutainside
G Em
Where the rivers change direction
D G
Across the Great Divide
