Great Divide chords by Ira Wolf

VERSE 1:

       Dm                              Bb              F
I wish I could leave my skin behind in this old rented room


      C                                 Bb
Float my way cross the great divide and be buried in you


Dm                              Bb           F
I been looking far and wide for what I gotta prove


C                            Bb
And putting peaks in my rear view

          Dm                           Bb                 F
Well it's colder here than anyone told me the south could get


      C                                Bb
And I took to staying up real late and smoking cigarettes


Dm                               Bb                F
Cheap tobacco burns the way that bridge between us did


C                                   Bb
And I'm left looking at the glowing ends



CHORUS:

C          F         Bb
  But am I too far gone


C       F       Bb
  To be running home


          Gm  Dm    Am Bb
Cause I'm longing tonight


      F          C                  Dm    Am Bb F C Bb
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide



VERSE 2:

       Dm                                 Bb             F
I wish I could take the hands of time and turn them in reverse


    C                                 Bb
I'd take back every long goodbye with venom in my words


    Dm                            Bb               F
The only way to be bein' found is getting lost, at first


    C                              Bb
But all I find are more bridges to burn



CHORUS:

C         F         Bb
  So am I too far gone


C       F       Bb
  To be running home


          Gm  Dm    Am Bb
Cause I'm longing tonight


      F          C                  Gm Bb
To be somewhere 'cross that great divide



INTERLUDE:
F C Gm Bb F C


VERSE 3:

         Dm                           Bb              F
Well the highway has a way of playin' tricks on tired eyes


C                             Bb
I swear that I see you ridin' shotgun late at night


Dm                                    Bb              F
Seems that you're the only thing that never leaves my mind


C                            Bb
The only thing worth getting right



CHORUS:

C         F         Bb
  So am I too far gone


C            F       Bb
  'Cause I'm running home


   Gm   Dm    Am Bb
If only in my mind


     F          C                  Dm   Am Bb F C Bb
I am somewhere 'cross that great divide
