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 
                
***Chorus:                
A                 D     A 
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

Lyrics:

Over Mountains
That's where my love lives
A long, long ride to sunland
Here where I did this 

Across the great divide
Alone (wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive unknown (unknown unwise and unaided)

If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in a blue sky
A green cross gliding on a million pines

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
  I'm not positive on the verse, but the rest is probably right. (send me any corrections)
  Any ideas on the solo?  
  Any one want to help tab out the whole album?

G       G/B       C
Standing by your window in pain,

a pistol in your hand

just grab your hat, and take that ride

Get yourself a bride

and bring your children down to the river side.

G                  C
I had a goal in my younger days,
G                 C
I nearly wrote my will
G                C
But I changed my mind for the better,

I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill

Pinball machine, and a queen,

I nearly took a bust

Tried to keep my hands to myself, 
D
you say it's a must, but who can you trust?

G         G/B          C
Harvest moon shining down from the sky, 
G       G/B      C
a weary sign for all
G          G/B       C
I'm gonna leave this one horse town, 
D
had to stall till the fall, now I'm gonna crawl
