Nanci Griffith – Across The Great Divide (Guitar)

            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

C     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

C     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

 C     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

 C     D         G
Across the Great Divide
