[Opening]
I’ve been [C]walking [F]in my [C]sleep
Counting [Am]troubles ‘stead of counting [F]sheep
Where the [C]years went I can’t [Am]say
I just [F]turned around [G], and they’ve gone [C]away
[verse 2]
[C]I’ve been sifting [F]through the [C]layers
Of dusty [Am]books and faded [F]papers
They tell a [C]story I used to [Am]know,
And it was one that [F]happened [G], so long [C]ago
[chorus]
It’s gone [C]away, in [F]yester[C]day
Now I [Am]find myself on the mountain[F]side
Where the [C]rivers change di[Am]rection
[G]Across the [F]Great Div[C]ide
[verse 3]
[C]Now I heard, the [F]owl a [C]calling
Softly [Am]as, the night was [F]falling
With a [C]question and I re[Am]plied
But he’s [F]gone a[G]cross the border [C]line
[chorus]
[C]It’s gone away, in [F]yester[C]day
Now I [Am]find myself on the mountain[F]side
Where the [C]rivers change di[Am]rection
[G]Across the [F]Great Div[C]ide
[Closing]
[C]The finest hour that [F]I have [C]seen
Is the [Am]one, that comes be[F]tween
The edge of [C]night, and the break of [Am]day
It’s when the [F]darkness [G]rolls a[C]way
[chorus]
[C]It’s gone away, in [F]yester[C]day
Now I [Am]find myself on the mountain[F]side
Where the [C]rivers change di[Am]rection
[G]Across the [F]Great Div[C]ide
