Bb 
The trail is dark and dusty 
    Eb               F 
The road is kind of rough, 
        Bb 
But the good road is a-waiting 
    Eb                F 
And boys it ain't far off. 
 
Bb 
Trails of troubles, 
Eb       F 
Roads of battles, 
Bb 
Paths of victory, 
   F     Bb 
We shall walk. 
Bb 
I walked down to the valley, 
       Eb            F 
I turned my head up high. 
Bb 
I seen that silver linen' 
     Eb              F 
That was hangin' in the sky. 
Bb 
Trails of troubles, 
F         Bb 
Roads of battles, 
Bb 
Paths of victory, 
Eb         F 
We shall walk. 
Bb 
The evenin' dust was rollin', 
Eb                       F 
I was walking down the track. 
Bb                          F 
There was a one-way wind a-blowin' 
Eb                    F 
it was blowin' at my back. 
Bb 
Trails of troubles, 
Bb 
Roads of battles, 
Eb         F 
Paths of victory, 
Bb 
We shall walk. 
 
Eb                  F 
The gravel road is bumpy, 
Bb 
It's a hard old road to ride, 
Bb 
But the clearer road's up yonder 
 
Eb                       F 
With the cinders on the side. 
 
Bb 
Trails of troubles, 
Eb         F 
Roads of battles, 
Bb 
Paths of victory, 
Eb          F 
We shall walk. 
 
Bb 
Tha mornin' train was movin', 
Eb                   F 
The hummin' of its wheels, 
Bb 
told me of a new day 
Eb                 F 
comin' across the field. 
Bb 
Trails of troubles, 
Eb          F 
Roads of battles, 
Bb 
Paths of victory, 
Eb         F 
We shall walk. 
 
 
Enjoy!
