Subject: CRD:Across the Great Divide – Kate Wolf (Nanci Griffith)
Across the Great Divide – Kate Wolf
A D A
I’ve been walking in my sleep
F#m D
Counting troubles ‘stead of counting sheep
A F#m
Where the years went I can’t say
D E A
I just turned around and they’ve gone away
A D A
I’ve been sifting through the layers
F#m D
Of dusty books and faded papers
A F#m
They tell a story I used to know
D E A
And it was one that happened so long ago
A D A
Chorus: It’s gone away in yesterday
F#m D
Now I find myself on the mountainside
A E F#m A
Where the rivers change direction
D E A
Across the Great Divide
A D A
Now, I heard the owl a-callin’
F#m D
Softly as the night was fallin’
A F#m
With a question and I replied
D E A
But he’s gone across the borderline
Chorus
A D A
The finest hour that I have seen
F#m D
Is the one that comes between
A F#m
The edge of night and the break of day
D E A
It’s when the darkness rolls away
Chorus Twice
