Across the Great Divide
Kate Wolf

          D       G     D
I've been walking in my sleep
         Bm                          G
Counting troubles 'stead of counting sheep
          D                  Bm
Where the years went I can't say
       G             A                    D
I just turned around   and they've gone away

          D       G             D
I've been sifting through the layers
           Bm              G
Of dusty books and faded papers
              D               Bm
They tell a story I used to know
                  G      A          D
It was one that happened   so long ago

|            D     G      D
|It's gone away in yesterday
|      Bm                         G
|Now I find myself on the mountainside
|          D      D/C#     Bm
|Where the rivers change direction
| G         A       D
|Across the Great Divide

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

Refrain

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