A                  E       A
Trail of troubles  roads of battles
A                 D        A
Paths of victory  we shall walk
A                          E                 A
The trail is dusty  and my road it might  be rough
A                                    D                 A
But the better roads are waiting and boys it ain't far off
A                            E                  A
I walked down to the river I turned my head up high
A                                 D             A
I saw the silver lining  that was hangin in the sky
A                  E         A
Trail of troubles  roads of battles
A                 D        A
Paths of victory  we shall walk
A                                  E                A
The evening dusk was rollin I was  walking down the track
A                                              D             A
There was a one way wind a blowing  and it was blowing at my back
A                                 E              A
The evening train was rolling the hummin of it's wheels
A                                   D                 A
My eyes they saw a better day  as I looked across the fields
A                  E             A
Trail of troubles  roads of battles
A                 D        A
Paths of victory  we shall walk
