Chord reference C, F, Am, G

Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

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

[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

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

[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

[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

[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

[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
