This song is written by a woman who inspired a lot of people to become a songwriter.
And when she passed away in 1986, so prematurely, we all just missed her dearly.
And this last New Year's Eve, sitting and speaking with Emi Lou Harris about her music
inspired me to go ahead and make this album and make her song the song that started off this album project.
And it's a great honor this evening to have Emi Lou Harris come out and join us.
And
[E]
to have two guitar [N] players who both played with Kate Wolf, Pete Kennedy over here on the acoustic guitar,
as well as the guitar player who played all of those beautiful guitar licks that you've heard on Kate's records over the years,
Miss Nina Gerber, come join us.
Kate Wolf's Across the Broken Bar
[E] [B] [A] [D] [A]
[C#m] [F#m] [D]
[A] [C#m] [F#m]
[A] [E] [A]
I've been walking in my sleep
[F#m] Counting troubles [A] instead of counting [D] sheep
[A] With the years [C#m] in, [F#m] I can't say
[A] I just turn [E] to the [A] lonely
And I've been sifting [D] through the [A] layers
[F#m] Of dusty blues and [D] faded faith
To [A] tell a story [C#m] I used [F#m] to know
And it was [D] one I'd had [E] [A] so long ago
And it's gone away yesterday
[F#m] Now I find myself [A] on [D] the mountainside
[A] Where [E] the rivers [F#m] change [D] direction [E] across a gray [A] divide
Now I heard how the morning [C#m] [F#m] softly went
The [D] night was full [A] with questions
And I've been wondering
And [F#m] I reply
But [A] [D] he's gone [E] across the [A] borderline
He's gone away [D] yesterday
[A] [F#m] Now I find [C#m] myself on [D] the mountainside
[A] Where the [E] rivers [F#m] change [A] direction [E] across a [A] gray divide
Finest [D] [A]

[A] [D] [E] [A]
hours I have seen
[F#m] Is the one that [D] comes between
[F#m] The [A] edge of night [F#m] and the break of day
[D] It's when the [E] darkness [A]
rolls away
And it's gone away [D]
[A] yesterday
[C#m] Now [F#m] I find myself [A] on the [D] mountainside
[A] Where [E] the [F#m] rivers change [A]
direction [E] across a gray [A] divide
And it's gone away [D] [A] yesterday
Now [F#m] I find myself on the [D] mountainside
[A] Where [E] the [F#m] rivers change [A] [D] direction [E] across [A] a gray divide
