Standard (EADGBE)

Trails of troubles,

roads of battles,

paths of victory,

we shall walk.

 The trail is dusty,

 and my road it might be rough

But the better roads are waiting,

 and boys it ain't far off.

 I walked down by the river,

 I turned my head up high.

I saw that silver linin',

 that was hangin' in the sky.

Trails of troubles,

roads of battles,

paths of victory,

we shall walk.

 The evenin' dusk was rollin',

 I was walking down the track.

There was a one-way wind a-blowin',

 and it was blowin' at my back.

 That evening train was rollin',

 the hummin of its wheels

My eyes they saw a better day,

 as I looked across the fields.

Trails of troubles,

roads of battles,

paths of victory,

we shall walk.

 The trail is dusty,

 and my road it might be rough

But the better roads are waiting,

 and boys it ain't far off.

Trails of troubles,

roads of battles,

paths of victory,

we shall walk.

Trails of troubles,

roads of battles,

paths of victory,

we shall walk.

Trails of troubles,

roads of battles,

paths of victory,

we shall walk.
