Capo I
 
[Intro]
 
[C] [F] [C] 
[C] [Am] [F] 
[C] [Am] [F G C]
 
[Verse 1]
[C] I've been walking [F] in my [C] sleep
[C] Counting [Am] troubles instead of counting [F] sheep
[C] Where the years went, [C] I can't [Am] say
I just [F] turned around [G] and they've gone [C] away
 
[Verse 2]
[C] And I've been sifting [F] through the [C] layers
Of [C] dusty [Am] books and faded [F] papers
[C] They tell a story I [C] used to [Am] know
And it was one that [F] happened [G] so long ago
 
[Chorus]
It's gone [C] away [F] in yester-[C]-day
[C] And I [Am] find myself on the mountain-[F]-side
Where the [C] rivers change [Am] direction
[F] Across the [G] great [C] divide
 
[Verse 3]
Now I [C] heard the [F] owl [C] calling
[C] Softly [Am] as the night was [F] falling
With a [C] question, [C] and I [Am] replied
But he's [F] gone [G] across the border-[C]-line
 
[Chorus]
 
[Verse 4]
The finest [C] hour that [F] I have [C] seen
[C] Is the [Am] one that comes [F] between
The [C] edge of night and the [C] break of [Am] day
It's when the [F] darkness [G] rolls [C] away
 
[Chorus]
