[E] [B] [A] [D] [A]
[F#m] [D]
[A] I've [F#m]
[A]
been walking in my sleep
[F#m] Counting troubles instead [D] of counting sheep
[A] Where the years went [F#m] I can't say
[D] I just turned [A] around and they've gone away
I've been sifting through the layers
[F#m] Of dusty books and [D] faded papers
To [A] tell a story I [F#m] used to know
And it was [D] one that happened [E] so [A] long ago
It's gone away [D] [A] yesterday
Now [F#m] I find myself on the [D] mountainside
[A] Where [G#m] the rivers [F#m] change [A] direction across the great divide
Now I heard the owl a-calling
[E] [F#m] Softly as the [D] night was falling
With a [A] question [F#m] and I replied
But [D] he's gone [E] across the [A]
borderline
He's gone away [D] yesterday
[A] Now [F#m] I find myself on [D] the mountainside
[A] Where the rivers [F#m] change [A] direction [D]

The
[D] [A] [F#m]
[D] [A]
[F#m] [D] [E]
[A] finest tower I have seen
[F#m] Is the one that [A] comes between
[D] The [A] edge of night and the [F#m] break of day
It's [D] when the [E] darkness [A] rolls away
And it's gone away
[D] [A] yesterday
Now [F#m] I find myself on the [D] mountainside
Where [A] the [E] rivers [F#m] change [A] direction across the great divide
And it's gone away [D] [A] yesterday
Now [F#m] I find myself [A] on the [D] mountainside
It's [A] where the [E] rivers [F#m] change [A] direction [D] [E] across the [A] great divide
