[Verse 1]
G Em
B long time ago came a man on a track
D C
walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
C D G D
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
C Am7 C
He made a home in the wilderness
G Em
He built a cabin and a winter store
D C
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
C D G D
and the other travellers came riding down the track
C Am7 C
and they never went further and they never went back
G Em
Then came the churches then came the schools
D C
then came the lawyers then came the rules
C D G D
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
C (D5)
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

[Verse 2]
G Em
Then came the mines - then came the ore
D C
then there was the hard times then there was a war
C D G D
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
C Am7 C
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
C (F)
like a rolling river. . .

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze

People driving home from the factories

There's six lanes of traffic

[Verse 3]
D G Em
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
D C
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
C D G D
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
C Am7 C
We're gonna have to reap from seed that's been sowed
G Em
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
D C
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
C D G D
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
C Em
all the way down the telegraph road

[Verse 4]
(E) Em Dm
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
D C
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
C D G D
You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair
C Am7
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
C G Em
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
D C
From out of this darkness and into the day
C D G D G
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
C D G D G
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
C D G D G
'Ccos I've run every red light on memory lane
C D G D G
I've seen desperation explode into flames
C D G D
And I don't wanna see it again. . .
Bm Em
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
C G C
all the way down the telegraph road
