Paths of Victory by Bob Dylan
Capo 1  A   D   E( Bb   Eb  F)
AThe trail is dark and dusty 
And the rDoad is kinda Erough, 
But the gAood road is a-waiting 
And Dboys it ain't far Eoff
ATrails of troubles, 
DRoads of Ebattles, 
APaths of victory, 
EWe shall Awalk 
AI walked out to the valley, 
I tuDrned my head up hEigh. 
I sAeen that silver linin' 
That was haDngin' in the sEky 
ATrails of troubles, 
DRoads of Ebattles, 
APaths of victory, 
EWe shall Awalk 
AThe evenin' dust was rollin', 
I was waDlking down the tErack. 
There was a oAne-way wind a-blowin' 
And it was bDlowin' at my bEack 
ATrails of troubles, 
DRoads of Ebattles, 
APaths of victory, 
EWe shall Awalk 
AThe gravel road is bumpy, 
It's a Dhard ol' road to Eride, 
But there's a cAlearer roads of yonder 
With the cDinders on the Eside 
ATrails of troubles, 
DRoads of Ebattles, 
APaths of victory, 
EWe shall Awalk
AThe mornin' train was movin', 
The hDummin' of its wEheels, 
ATold me of a new day 
ComDing across the Efield 
ATrails of troubles, 
DRoads of Ebattles, 
APaths of victory, 
EWe shall Awalk.

Paths of Victory by Bob Dylan

A D E Bb Eb F

Capo 1 ( )

The trail is dark and dusty

D E

And the road is kinda rough,

But the good road is a-waiting

D E

And boys it ain't far off

Trails of troubles,

D E

Roads of battles,

Paths of victory,

E A

We shall walk

I walked out to the valley,

D E

I turned my head up high.

I seen that silver linin'

D E

That was hangin' in the sky

Trails of troubles,

D E

Roads of battles,

Paths of victory,

E A

We shall walk

The evenin' dust was rollin',

D E

I was walking down the track.

There was a one-way wind a-blowin'

D E

And it was blowin' at my back

Trails of troubles,

D E

Roads of battles,

Paths of victory,

E A

We shall walk

The gravel road is bumpy,

D E

It's a hard ol' road to ride,

But there's a clearer roads of yonder

D E

With the cinders on the side

Trails of troubles,

D E

Roads of battles,

Paths of victory,

E A

We shall walk

The mornin' train was movin',

D E

The hummin' of its wheels,

Told me of a new day

D E

Coming across the field

Trails of troubles,

D E

Roads of battles,

Paths of victory,

E A

We shall walk.
