Intro and between verses:

G          C/g              G      C/g   G
 Well, I'm walkin' down the line,
                     C/g    G
I'm walkin' down the line
        C/g              G
An' I'm walkin' down the line.
   C/g          G
My feet'll be a-flyin'
   D7sus4        C/g      G
To tell about my troubled mind.

I got a heavy-headed gal
I got a heavy-headed gal
I got a heavy-headed gal
She ain't feelin' well
When she's better only time will tell

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.

I walked down to the valley,
I turned my head up high.
I seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky.

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,

        Em
I can't wait
A                           Em
Wait for you to change your mind

It's late
A                     Em
I'm tryin to walk the line

Well it's way past midnight

And there's people all around
A
Some on their way up

Some on their way down
Em                               A
The air burns and I'm tryin to think straight
C                B7                    Em
And I don't know how much longer I can wait

        E7
Well my heart's in The Highlands, gentle and fair

Honeysuckle blooming in the wildwood air
A                                            E7
 Bluebells blazing where the Aberdeen waters flow
        B7
Well my heart's in The Highlands
          A                                   E7
I'm gonna go there when I feel good enough to go

Windows were shaking all night in my dreams
Everything was exactly the way that it seems

Capo 5th fret (original key A)

D       G     D

    D                       G         D
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
    D                                     A
And where have you been, my darling young one?
     G/d                     A/d          D
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
     G/d                        A/d         D
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
     G/d                      A/d       D
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
     G/d                    A/d        D
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
